Heat forward Kevin Love on the offensive struggles: "I can't really put a finger on why that is happening because we do have that capability. If you look at our lineup, you would think that we should be scoring in the 110s, the 120s, maybe even the 130s on certain nights ... I think that we're searching to try to find it. It's not for the lack of intent or trying to make the play. Something just needs to break the seal."
