QUOTABLE

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after the loss to the Utah Jazz: "Look, I know how it looks, I mean first of all, the team that they played through the first three quarters is vastly different than the team we played in Salt Lake. They presented some difference challenges with the size, in terms of our driving, attacking game, our rebounding, and then in the fourth quarter it just became a game."
