Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on three-game win streak: “Look, we’ve had a lot of, a lot of things happen this year and I do really appreciate the resilience of this group and it’s such a beautiful opportunity to face some kind of adversity together. I mean, come on, it’s professional sports, so it’s, it’s not like you know working in a hospital or something, but you collectively have an opportunity to face something uncomfortable, and as long as you don’t, like, separate, actually the opposite happens. You come closer together from it. You actually can have something beautiful on the other side of some really hard things in this profession.”
