Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Friday's loss against the Atlanta Hawks: “I can’t actually explain it right now. That’s just as surprising to me as it is probably to everybody else out there. We’ve been making great strides to put ourselves in a position to win, really defending. And we just didn’t bring it on that end of the court.”
