P.J. Tucker on playing through injuries: “We’ve been doing it all year. We had guys out all year, but we’ve figured out a way. We’ve had one or two of our stars out every single game all year, we’ve had G League guys. I mean we’ve just figured it out all year. We were able to win the East and fight all year just to get to this point. We’re all banged up—me, Jimmy, Kyle—but we’ve just figured it out. We’re just playing with our hearts right now, trying to give it all we’ve got.”

Here's the prediction for Sunday's game from Moses The Hamster. He picks the Heat. Moses' record during the postseason is 12-5.
