Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on loss to OKC Thunder: "The turnovers, offensively, for us allowed them to get back into it and then take control of it, then they started to hit threes from that point but that really kind of defused any kind of momentum we would have or creating any kind of advantage, and end up in a mistake. But again, that's what OKC does. They're like us. They can speed teams up, they sped us up and forced us into an inordinate amount of mistakes on our part."
