Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on the win against the OKC Thunder: "After the Boston game there was just utter frustration and anger after that game, where we felt like we outplayed them for the overwhelming majority of the game and lose the game, so there was a lot of that fueling us, and this was a by-any-and-whatever-means-necessary game, whatever it takes."
