QUOTABLE

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on the Portland Trail Blazers' shooting: "We definitely were attempting to dial in to their driving and then they just started pulling up. I mean, probably out of those 20 makes there was probably eight to maybe 10 that were pull-up threes."

"These guys are all capable. once they got going, then, that's the task. You have to take away all of it and we weren't able to do that. That was the biggest difference in the game. Obviously we didn't shoot the ball well from there, but we didn't disrupt them enough. I think, overall, they didn't really feel us."

"There's a feeling of when you're making a team work, when you're making a team have to stress out about getting shots. I didn't sense that they were stressed out so you can leave yourself susceptible to big shooting nights for a team that might not be doing that on a nightly basis."
