MIAMI — Erik Spoelstra, Michael Malone, and their staffs have been pouring over film and losing sleep, trying to come up with adjustments.

Everyone is looking for that little edge. But four games into a series, there are not a lot of secrets left. Everyone knows what is coming.

It can be more about execution and effort over adjustments. “I think it’s a little bit of both,” the Heat’s Haywood Highsmith said. “It’s definitely some things we can adjust on, and then it’s also about a little bit more effort and just doing more.

You always need more, always can do more… we definitely have to make some adjustments on both ends of the floor, but you know, we’ll figure it out.” The Heat need to figure it out before Game 4 on Friday night, because they can’t afford to go down 3-1 to the Nuggets in this series.
