Heat guard Norman Powell:  "Having a losing road trip is not a good feeling. It's all about regrouping, you know we got an In-Season tournament game coming up Friday that we gotta get read for, so, it's all about bouncing back. The great thing about this league is that we have more games to correct. I like the fact that we have guys out, guys having to step up, playing, competing, scrapping, fighting. Now we just gotta put it together with everybody."
