Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: "Well I mean the most important thing about today is that we imposed a will defensively and competitively, you know, on the glass, loose balls, things of that nature. Those will remain true as we get to Atlanta. There will be some different specifics to their team and, you know we'll just have to get to it. Our guys love to compete so I don't think they would like two extra days waiting around to get after it."
