Quote of Note
"There's no way they should come into our building and play harder than us. We've got to pick it up there. You can't coach effort, you can't coach intensity. You've got to bring that within yourself every night. Myself and everyone else has to do a better job. You've got to bring effort, regardless of what else is happening."

How bad was it? 53 of MIA 105 were in last 8 seconds of shot clock. Not even SA puts up numbers like that
