It definitely helps, being on the streak we're on, and the way we're playing. You need to play a perfect game to beat these guys.

We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so we see it as a test each and every time. They beat on us last year in the playoffs so we wanted to come out and see how we could fix it and just compete with them. We competed with them before but we just weren't on their level.

When you come out to play a rival you never know. Regardless of the up-and-downs, you are going to get the best effort. It was important for us to come out focused. You want to jump on them early and stay up. If you give the team life at any point in time they can come back and beat you.

I think turnovers were key, on top of them getting points off our turnovers. That was the big thing.

We really made it too easy for them. They were really playing to protect their home court and now we just have to take our opportunity by bouncing back and evening it up on Saturday.
