QUOTABLE
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Bam Adebayo's inconsistent shooting: “That’s why I treasure these relationships and coaching relationships that I’ve had with Bam and Tyler, that are really unique in this league. I’ve worked with Bam now for eight years, and then a summer with the USA team. We have a different relationship than just coach to player. It’s much deeper than that. And unfortunately you don’t get a lot of that in this league. I’m already starting to develop that with Tyler now. That just happens over time.”
