QUOTABLE
Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra: "Every night for us, as long as we're aggressive and taking open shots and playing at the appropriate pace. I think it's also important to read the game. We've had games where we've had 70-plus in the paint, a lot of shots at the rim. This team does a great job protecting the rim, I thought we took the right shots. That always helps if it goes down but you have to trust the process on that. The bigger story, I think, was the defensive activity through the first three quarters."
