Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on the Charlotte Hornets: "They have speed, positional size and they've just gotten better. I think Coach Lee has done a good job of getting them to buy into this system and go through the growing pains of having some ups-and-downs with it but they're definitely hitting their stride with it now."
