QUOTABLE

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on giving Haywood Highsmith more minutes than Nikola Jovic in the second half against the Phoenix Suns: “H had given us good minutes in that first half, and we were looking to do something just to change the energy of these third quarters. It had nothing to do with Niko,” Spoelstra said. “It was more about their lineup and how they can get you scrambling.”
