Heat guard Kyle Lowry: “It’s been our season. We’ve been up and down. We just got to stay level-headed no matter what. You can’t get too high, can’t get too low. You just got to stay the course and stay the path. We had flashes that we showed how good we are and then we had some flashes we show good we are but then we make mistakes.”
