Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after win over Philadelphia 76ers: "There's no question about it, that's been a point of emphasis for our basketball team for a while. We cant even explain what's happened in these losses defensively, but you could see it from the tip. Guys were making extraordinary efforts, multiple efforts and that went all the way through to the fourth quarter."
