QUOTABLE

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo's leadership: "I've enjoyed watching, to see them grow into these roles. If you wanna lead, these are the times. You have to be able to do it when the seas are a little bit rough, a little bit choppy, and anybody can lead when things are going great. Everybody can be a frontrunner in those kind of situations but, these guys, they're about the right things. They want it so bad. They want everybody to play well and get this breakthrough. It starts with that, you know, and then everyone else filling in as well. He continued: "I think everybody's just kind of turning to them naturally."
