QUOTABLE

Miami Heat forward Giannis Antetokounmpo says the Heat are in a good place: “The last 8 games, we’ve won 6. We’re getting there. We’re 5th or 6th in the East. We’re getting there. I think as the season goes on we’re going to keep on getting better."

"We’re in a good place, we're in a good groove. Just have to stay locked in, stay humbled, keep our heads down and just keep on doing our job quietly. No attention needed.”

Giannis says the Heat are in a GOOD place:

“The last 8 games, we’ve won 6. We’re getting there. We’re 5th or 6th in the East. We’re getting there. As the season goes on we’re going to keep on getting better… We’re in a good place. Just have to stay locked in.”
