In Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat admitted they abandoned their style of play. 

With the teams set for a rematch Friday, the Heat know what it takes to leave Boston with a split. They need to play their game. 

Here's what they had to say about what has to happen for a victory: 

Guard Max Strus: "I think we need to play more of our game, more of our speed. We'll watch the film. We'll break it down. We'll be prepared for Friday."

Center Bam Adebayo: "I feel like what we scored was in our wheel house. It just got away from us on the other end. I feel like once we really lock in, watch some film, I feel like we can come out with a "W" on Friday."

Guard Tyler Herro: "That's the big thing when you're playing a good team like them, they're going to try to force you into playing their game.  That's why they are the best team in the league right now ... We've got a great coaching staff and they're going to prepare us for Friday."

Coach Erik Spoelstra: I don't think it's in the best interest for us to make it a shootout. We don't want to play a slow game by any means. That's not us all at all but get it a little bit more on our terms."
