QUOTABLE
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after their crunchtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks: “It was a tale of many things but, I believe in the beginning of the fourth we were up eight and then they just hit two threes within seconds to get back into it. We couldn’t extend that lead and then Porter Jr. just played terrific down the stretch, we couldn’t get a handle on him. Defensively it just wasn’t a great game, it would’ve required a whole lot more.”
