Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after the win over the Charlotte Hornets: "I really want our guys to have these kind of moments, that's what I've been saying for the last month. This is the best time of year, we feel like our game has been trending in such a great way, both ends of the court. Our defense is just getting more consistent, you see the efforts and you see more guys making an impact and then offensively, we've felt that way since the turn of the new year, that our offense has been going in a good way, but now it becomes about these competitive games."
