QUOTABLE

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra: “We didn't have our normal paint attacks and those usually come from more intention, and then the ball moves. That was much better in the second half, even if we weren't making shots, it just looked a little bit more like us, but teams will go through that, and it was probably frustrating. I hope the guys view that as frustrating, scoring 49 points (in the first half) and not passing the ball and not playing our game and then getting a win out of it so that we can learn that lesson. We'll need it on this road trip, we're playing two good teams on the road."
