Heat third-year forward Nikola Jovic on his progression after Sunday's winning basket against the Minnesota Timberwolves: “As the youngest guy, I have to be the guy who’s going to bring that attention. I just had to show that I can do it and help this team win. You got to stay locked in the whole season; even though we started out bad, I still feel we got a good chance to be at the top.”
