Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: "Regardless of the scheme is, I always go back to that, it's just about committing to doing hard things. We were really moving in the zone, taking away airspace and scrambling to challenge shots at the rim. In a lot of these losses in the last month we've just been giving up shots at the rim and threes."
