QUOTABLE

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: "The disposition was there. This was a frenetic pace, the pace felt more like a game where both teams would be in the 140s. We were just getting beat off the dribble, or beat in the post. I think we gave up six threes in the last four seconds of the shot clock. We got to finish out that last close-out, I think four of them came in the last two seconds of the clock and they hit 20 threes. So if you take away five of those with great close-outs, then it's not just all about Ayo making all those plays."
