Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Friday's loss to Mavericks: "I don’t think we brought a great motor and level of detail to our offense. And I know that was a big point of emphasis for them to really get after us. They’d been giving up a lot of points, so you knew you were going to get their best defensive effort.”
