Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra: "Our record before this road trip we'd only won two games on the road so we took that to heart. Wanted to have a good collective response and we get to go back home and play again tomorrow night and we're looking forward to it. These are little mini times during the season that, we don't want to over-celebrate but we do want to acknowledge it. I don't think anybody two months ago thought we'd be sitting third in the East, it's not everything but it's something. I want our guys to enjoy it, at least for a few minutes, on the flight home and then we'll have plenty of time to get some rest and lock in and get ready for another one tomorrow night."
