Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after loss to Cleveland Cavaliers: "Yeah it's extremely disappointing. We've put in the time, the guys have put in blood, sweat and tears to develop a top-four defense two weeks ago and we need it the most is when we've let it disappear and that's just unacceptable at this time."
