QUOTABLE

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra"I felt like it was an opportunity that slipped for us to be able to have that gratifcation of winning a game where we weren't making shots. We made a good comeback there at the end but through three quarters there was more discouragement from our missed shots that it was affecting our concentration level and resolve defensively."
