Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra On Paul George: `We Got The Key Stops When We Needed To'

For most of the game, Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George had his way with the Miami Heat defense.

But when it counted, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said his team made the necessary stops. It allowed the Heat to hang for a 115-110 victory Thursday, snapping a two-game losing streak.

George finished with 29 points.

"Paul George, it just seems like whenever he gets the ball when they need a bucket, he can get a shot off," Spoelstra said. "He's just one of those guys that you're just not really sure what you can do to scheme against. He can do it all three levels. He's clever, he knows how to draw fouls as well. But I think we got the key stops when needed to and we showed that mental toughness and stability just to find a way to grind it out in the last three minutes."

The Heat return to action Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs.
