It was embarrassing.
Coach Spoelstra:
We’re all frustrated. We’re all embarrassed when you’re in those situations and you can’t stop an avalanche like that.
Wade:
You just keep coming back until they tell you your season is over. This team has been through a lot. A loss, a bad 24 minutes, that’s not going to deter us from coming back and doing our job.
