Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on the developing chemistry between Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier: "I think you're going to see Tyler and Terry build an even better connection with more minutes, games, shootarounds, film sessions and a few practices that we'll have the opportunity to partake in.  But you see the speed, quickness and skill that they each have."
