Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on loss to San Antonio Spurs: “The primary deal was just our disposition defensively. They’re a very good offensive team, they present a lot of challenges with the way they can drive and attack but we’re better than that and we need to get back to our defensive habits and doing it in the moment of truth against very good teams, that’s the whole deal. We’ve had a great defense all year long, but it’s being tested now by really good teams that are playing for something and we need to raise that level collectively.”<\/p>\n
