This is the ultimate test. This is the best team in the league by far. This team has not just blown us out, but blown out San Antonio twice, one of the better teams in the league. This isn't charity.

They played well when they had to. Paul Pierce is the best in the business when it comes to hitting fourth-quarter shots.

We're just finishing games off of pure talent, not knowledge. We're just making it difficult for ourselves. Miami's a good team. They're going to make a run, and they did. We held it off the best we could and won the game.

We didn't have one of the best third quarters. Third quarters have been our Achilles' heel. In the second half, we didn't have that same flow.
