Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Wednesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets: “Then they do what they've done a lot this year. They've had quite a few of these games where they've been in the balance and then when they want to put on the Jets they've been able to leave teams behind the dust and that's what it felt like tonight."
