Eric Spoelstra admitted that the Heat were 0-3 behind the Cavaliers and felt "humble".
Miami -- The Miami Heat trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers 0-3 in the first round of the playoffs, which is undoubtedly an eye-opening series, facing the top seed team in the Eastern Conference. On Saturday afternoon, the Heat suffered the most painful playoff defeat in team history in Game 3, losing to the Cavaliers by 37 points, with head coach Eric Spoelstra talking about the team's game experience.
After training on Sunday, he looked back on the team's journey until the fourth game on Monday. He said the Miami Heat were about to face their third "win or go home" situation, which is based on the situation in the previous two playoff playoffs. The team is in this situation, Spoelstra admits that the team feels "humble" to avoid being swept.
"Listen, this is the third knockout match we played in 10 days," Spoelstra said. "So we started to work hard, find solutions. We went all out, just to make it into this series. We were eager to make it into this series, we fought to make it into this series, and that was the inevitable result of the competition. They were a good team, and this game would humble us. We haven't found a way to win yet, so we started to work hard, you know, find solutions, and make each other better tomorrow."
"This is our third knockout in 10 days. So we went all out, find solutions. We went all out, just to get into this series. We were eager to get into this series, and we fought to get into this series..." - Eric Spoelstra trailed 0-3 before Game 4.
Heats are stepping up their offensive before Game 4
As the Heat try to avoid the appearance of "broom", one might think that training before Game 4 on Sunday would be the most urgent. However, team captain Bam Adebayo said in an interview with ClutchPoints that Miami is taking the “same strategy” despite the “strength” changes.
"I feel like we're taking the same strategy as we did throughout the season," Adebayo said. "We had 10 consecutive losses before and had to come here, obviously to find a way out. So I don't think the situation has changed, and I'm sure a lot of us have improved intensity throughout the playoffs."
I asked Bam Adebayo if today's training will make their morale different considering that tomorrow is home.
"I feel like we've adopted the same strategy throughout the season... I do feel that many of us have increased the intensity..."
There is no doubt that to extend the series, Heat star Taylor Herro had to overcome the Cavaliers' defensive pressure and rebounded strongly after falling behind only 13 points in Game 3. He talked about the exciting challenge of making history to ClutchPoints, as no team has ever reversed and won when they were behind 0-3, but he stressed that the team is "playing game by game".
"Fight one game at a time," said Hero. "There is definitely a road to go. We know it won't be easy. We just need to clean up something and hopefully we'll look a lot better than we used to. That's our path to Game 7 - win one at home and then obviously win one in Cleveland."
Miami Heat's life-and-death battle with the Cleveland Cavaliers Game 4 will be held Monday night.
