Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the gap in rebounding in their loss against the Boston Celtics: "You know, eventually it just comes down to competitive toughness. Basically, that's it. We feel like we're better than where we are, but we are what our record is right now, that's the bottom line. if you played games on paper, I think right now we would have a better record, but that's not the case right now."
