QUOTABLE

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “We’re not getting too caught up in that at this point,” Robinson said. “Just trying to take it game by game. We’re focused on [Monday] right now and getting that one against the Clippers. So when we’re heading back to Miami, obviously we’ll have a good feel of where we’re at. But we can’t get too caught up in forecasting and trying to do that sort of thing.”
