Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after their win against the Atlanta Hawks with a healthy roster: "We have legit depth. We've been talking about it all year but, when we have guys out, the depth is used to plug in and fill in some gaps when guys are out, but when we have everybody available, we look a lot different. This is one game, but this is something we've felt about our team for a while, we just have our guys available right now."
