According to the publication, the loss can be considered a case of total "system failure."
"There was no space on the floor," Dwyane Wade said. "We needed to scrap our playbook at that point and come up with something different. We just really didn't get any good looks."
"This is the worst back-to-back in the league," Wade added. "You come in to see what you can do. You try to come out and compete. We did that for a half and then it got away from us in the third quarter. It was one of those games."
Chris Bosh, on the other hand, admits that it was the team not sticking to what "had been working best."
"We just shot ourselves in the foot, over and over," the Heat center said. "We didn't get any easy ones. We had some turnovers, and that led to them getting easy buckets. We had a bunch of breakdowns on defense, and that did not help us, either."
EpochTimes.com meanwhile cited Coach Eric Spoelstra apparently putting the blame on something else instead of a "failed system."
"We weren't nearly aggressive enough that you need to be to be able to get some paint opportunities, maybe some free throws to be able control the tempo," Spoelstra said.
