@B_Willz14: "The Heat trail by 11 after coach Spoelstra had to call his second timeout of the first quarter.

Russell Westbrook has been able to get whatever he wants on Miami's defense shooting 3-of-5 with eight points. I expect the Heat to switch to zone soon."

@magno_jez12: "Denver is rolling. Looks like Russell Westbrook found his home there as he's playing well at the moment. Miami is just too chaotic at this time. Too many issues in the organization."
