QUOTABLE

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on when things changed in the Celtics game: "I thought the biggest turning point was our offense at the end of the third quarter." ... "We were holding the fort, I really thought we were in a great position. Once they hit those four threes and we had the three turnovers, then it was almost as if our minds went, because then we had a lot mistakes that led to some of the open threes. They were just running different guys up into the pick-and-roll, a lot of times it was Kel'el's [Ware] man, that's okay. I think he had a couple tough ones where they were able to get by him or score on him, that wasn't the issue. I think the issue was when we were making mistakes and created confused and they had open threes that broke the game open from there."
