Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Terry Rozier coming up in win against Charlotte Hornets, his former team: “It meant a lot for him, and we wanted to acknowledge that. He had some great years here. That’s why we respected him so much. He was kind of a Heat-killer in those games. And it’s always good to see somebody play well and get the win on their former homecourt. But he did it within the context of what was going to impact winning. He wasn’t pressing. He wasn’t trying to do too much. That was a big three.”
