Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on injuries to Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson: "More than anything, you just feel for those guys. They're competitors, they want to be out there. They're trending in a much better direction. "Josh was just starting getting healthy and really starting to get his legs under him and really starting to make an impact on both ends of the floor. Terry was getting a lot more comfortable."
