QUOTABLE

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on if the blowout loss to Indiana Pacers was about not hitting enough shots or if there was more to it than that: "I mean, no, we had plenty of opportunities to work our way back in to it. It felt like emotionally, mentally, physically, we were really ramped up and ready to play in Chicago. Tonight, I don't know if I have that feeling, particularly to start this game, and they made us pay for it."

"Started out with turnover, score, turnover and then foul, foul, foul, and then we were playing from behind and in the mud the rest of the way. It's a level of inconsistency right now, not the entire season, right now, that we have to correct to put ourselves in better position to win."
