Spoelstra rallies Heat, stressing unity through adversity

Miami Heat suffered a tough defeat against a shorthanded Chicago Bulls team on Saturday, squandering an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter to lose 114-109.

The loss has dropped the Heat to five games under .500 as they head into Monday’s action. In the aftermath, head coach Erik Spoelstra addressed his team, emphasizing unity and resilience.

“We’re all in this together. That’s what I told the group right now,” Spoelstra said, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

“I’m fully with them. This is an opportunity for all of us to face our demons and get past this. This is not something that’s comfortable for any one of us, and I see something amazing on the other side if we can collectively overcome this.”
