Heat forward Jaime Jaquez on the inconsistency: "If we had that answer, this would be a lot easier. That's what us, as players and the coaches, we have to figure out. We're continuing to watch film, continuing to discuss, continuing to try to find solutions. So far, we haven't gotten them."

Heat center Bam Adebayo on trade deadline rumors: "Control what you can control. It's easier said than done. You try to ease the guys' minds. Winning makes it easier to go to the trade deadline for everybody. Can't control what happens up there [in the front office]."
