Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on whether the Heat's rebounding as of late has been a strategic change or matchup-related: "It's trying to do things with more effort, consistently, on both sides of the floor. We've emphasized it all year and now it's becoming, guys are embracing it more, our identity of making multiple efforts, and that's another aspect of it. Shot goes up, you can spectate, or you can get involved."
