You just need to listen to what the Heat players said in the post-game interviews to know how desperate they were in the fourth quarter.
"The Magic Team's perimeter defense was rotating fast, making timely shift and cutting off passes effectively. At one moment, I felt like there were seven players on the court for the Magic Team!" — Allan Houston discussing the fourth quarter collapse and the Magic's perimeter defense.
"Our rhythm was disrupted, and once we got the ball, we just thought about shooting it while we had the chance, but that precisely lowered our shooting percentage. We fell completely into the Magic's rhythm, like prey waiting to be slaughtered. What? MVP rankings? Please, don't mention it anymore, okay?" — Tim Hardaway chuckled helplessly.
"Fuck off, I'm not gonna answer such a stupid question!" — Jamal Mashburn when asked about his new nickname "Mallogic".
