Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Thursday's victory against the Houston Rockets: “We’ve been able to see it on our practice court, but it was good to see the guys out there, especially the first half. I thought there was a lot of good things. The defensive activity, the disruptiveness is something that we want to do, and turn around those stops, deflections, rebounds into early offense.”
