QUOTABLE

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra: "We know the deal, it's about this competitive collective will that we have to bring. It's a dogfight, nobody likes how we've been the last 10 games, but the majority of the games have been winnable and that's a matter of collectively finding a way to get a win. Yes, we're trying to improve certain aspects of our game, but that's secondary to a collective will to find a way to win. Even as we've competed recently and some of our metrics have been down, they've still been good enough to get a win, just got to figure out how to do it."
