QUOTABLE

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after their loss to the Philadelphia 76ers: "There were a lot more efforts in that second half and, we say it all the time, that doesn't guarantee anything, but just there in the second half, how many times did we hit the deck on a loose ball?"

"They just beat us at our game, they ran us out of the gym in the first half and then if they miss, they had those 14 second chance opportunities. Then it settled in, the effort changed the momentum of the game. We got back into it, took a lead and then it became a possession game. From there, they made some plays down the stretch where we couldn't."
