""This is going to sound crazy, but this is different than the other games we're talking about. Our guys were locked in and competing. There was an exceptional level of shot-making on their part to start the game.""
""They shot a remarkable percentage. It just felt like they didn't miss any pull-up jump shots from the areas that you would like teams shooting from.""
""The area that everybody talks about. The two-point percentages between the two teams were a big difference.""
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra commented on his team's defensive issues following a loss to the Boston Celtics, who scored a record 53 points in the first quarter. Spoelstra noted that his players were competing well, but the Celtics' shooting was exceptional. Boston excelled not only from three-point range but also shot nearly 60 percent from inside the arc, contrasting with Miami's 41.7 percent. Spoelstra emphasized the significant difference in two-point shooting percentages between the teams as a key factor in the game.
