Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra On Game 6 Approach: "We'll Play Much Better Saturday"

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra didn't quite go Jimmy Butler by guaranteeing victory in Game 6

But Spoelstra does feel things won't be as easy for the Boston Celtics as they were in Thursday's victory. The Celtics led by double-digits throughout, capturing their second straight blowout victory in the series. 

They have won the last two games by a combined 30 points. Now, it's time for Spoelstra to make adjustments to avoid becoming the first team to blow a 3-0 lead in a playoff series. 

"One game doesn't lead to the next game," Spoelstra said. "Based on all the experience that we've had, it doesn't matter in the playoffs. It doesn't matter if you lose by whatever. We beat them by whatever in Game 3. It just doesn't matter. It's about collectively preparing and putting together a great game. We'll play much better Saturday and that's all we just have to focus on right now."
