Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the forced turnovers: "That is and has to be our identity. We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it's more about we look different when we're flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent."
