Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tom Thibodeau, Chicago Bulls Head Coach

"Well, you have to give them credit. They were more aggressive, more determined. We were back on our heels. The game started okay. (We) didn't close out the first quarter the way we would have liked and it snowballed from there."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Erik Spoelstra, Miami Heat Head Coach

"Yeah, he's (LeBron James) going to make the necessary plays, whatever it is and not necessarily what people think he should do. People think he should dominate and have to score forty (points) every night. If the game calls for it, he will. If it means he's going to make the right play by setting somebody else up or even to another level, letting another guy make a play. Our point guards were able to make quite a few plays tonight. And that's his pose and understanding from that standpoint. But our spacing is absolutely key. You play a defensive team like this, where they'll load into the paint, you have to get to your spots and you have to get to them fast."

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward

"I was just trying to make sure we keep our composure throughout everything that was going on and understand we're here to play a basketball game. We know it's going to be physical each and every minute against this team. Chicago's very physical and they like it that way. And we're not going to shy away from it, but understand that we're here to try to win a game. And they did what they wanted to do. I mean, I feel like they came in and they stole the home court from us and now we have to go to Chicago and try to take it back."
