The Suns (1-3) lost their second straight game, both on the road in the state of Florida. It was the first time the Heat has held an opponent to under 100 points this season. And while 99 points isn't necessarily a number to brag about, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was looking at other stats. "It was good to see us hold them under 40 percent shooting (39.1 percent) and also win the rebounding battle (49-38)," Spoelstra said. "Ev...
