The two teams are now set to meet on Saturday, October 10 in Game Five which will be a must-win match for the Heat.
 
Erik Spoelstra, the Heat coach, spoke with reporters about the team's expectations and thoughts moving forward.
 
"We are here for a purpose. We never expected this to be easy," Spoelstra said.
 
“I just loved seeing our guys compete. I love how they respond in between those four lines. 
 
“This was a throwback game and there were some moments of truth there at the end, and probably the bottom line is they won those moments of truth.”
