QUOTABLE

Heat forward Bam Adebayo: “This road trip has been good for us because when we’re home, we really can’t see each other. We’re in the hotel now, we’re traveling together on the plane, getting to talk to one another, and really getting that cohesive brotherhood again that we had last year. It’s great for us and we just got to keep building from here.”
