QUOTABLE
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Kel'el Ware's big game Wednesday against the Cavs: “Kel'el down the stretch was terrific. really liked his response yesterday after a disappointing game as a team. I met with him (had) a productive film session where he wanted to get better. He had a very good practice and it carried over. He was very good in that second half. Let's do it more often. He wants it right now. In some of these games it hasn't gone necessarily his way or our way those minutes when he's in the game, he's just coming back the next day and trying to correct and be better. For a young guy, that's what you want. IT was important also just to have that size and rebounding and rim protection during that stretch."
