Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Bam Adebayo's effort against the Lakers Monday: "Yeah, he really willed us in those moments of truth; he was the voice in the huddles; he was holding everybody to a higher standard, demanding more particularly on the defensive end of the floor, and that's leadership. Not just a voice, but doing it with all the big muscle stuff 20 on the glass... That's just tremendous; that's why he's the heartbeat."
