I thought we played desperate basketball, like we had to have it,

“I was proud to see that out of this bunch. This bunch, in particular, hadn’t gone through adversity. I thought tonight we really handled it, we stepped up, we made plays.”

What a great defensive performance I thought we had,”

“This was a good Miami team, and it was good to get back home and take care of business. In this league, you have to have short-term memory and you have to try, as much as possible, take care of homecourt advantage and I thought we did.”
