QUOTABLE

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after win over Sacramento Kings: "We brought a force to the game. Defensively they were able to score at times but it was just the force, the intentionality. There felt like a collective spirit right from the tip and then we were able to maintain that. "

"A lot of guys had contributions, I could go down the list, but, obviously, Bam was very good. Pelle just continues to grow, he's doing a lot more play-making now, but he brought a force to the game on both sides of the court that just kind of became contagious."
