Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: "We do also want to have little mini-victories in this season, where, it's been frustrating the last three weeks but it's the second night of a back-to-back, you just want to take on an additional challenge of trying to get our 13th win in that kind of scenario and also to secure that we would have a winning record. These aren't like, massive goals it's just you try to wrap your mind around any little goal that you can achieve and then, ultimately, get the win."
