QUOTABLE
\nHeat head coach Erik Spoelstra: “We need to be better on the ball for sure. Last night, yeah there were some pick-and-rolls, they were calling up some different actions, but at some point it becomes a competitive spirit on-the-ball to handle your business. And then, our weak-side has to be completely active. This league is not easy to defend, the talent, the skill, the three-point spacing, all of that, and it really does require five guys on a string.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
