“You’ve got to give them credit,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “They really move the ball, they move those guys around. But I though our effort and competitiveness were good enough to win on that end. What cost us the game was the offensive end of the floor. They did a really good job on us, obviously, and we just didn’t move the scoreboard enough.”
Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra was very proud of his team and how they played with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo out.
“Tonight, with Jimmy and Bam out, I didn’t feel at all that guys were stepping outside of their game and trying to do more to make up for those guys being out,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “They just played their roles and played their roles well.”
Tyler Herro once again led the Heat to victory. Herro scored 26 points on nine of 18 shooting from the field. He knocked down five of eight from the three-point line. He grabbed seven rebounds and dished out six assists.
