The faces told the story.

Spoelstra downplayed the confrontation with Wade during the third quarter.

“That was during a very emotional part of the game, when we were getting our butt kicked,” said Spoelstra, who declined to directly answer if Wade was injured. “That type of fire, that’s good. That’s the least of our concerns.”
