Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on getting Terry Rozier acclimated: "It's a shame that we're working through what we're working through, so we can't fully capitalize on things that he can and will help our team. We will get there. As tough as this is, as frustrated and angry as we all feel about it, you've got to get through it ... There's no denying this is an uncomfortable time and we've got to get work together and continue to burn through it."
