Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “We feel fully comfortable in these kind of games. Our guys are enjoying this. They feel fully alive, you know, from the competition. Obviously the locker room is very disappointed right now, but we gave ourself enough opportunities to win. You have to make some plays but this competitive edge, it’s getting stronger. There’s a collective will that I like seeing out of this group, and we’re getting more comfortable with different guys being able to make plays in the fourth quarter.”
