Tom Thibodeau wants his team to make sure the Heat are unable to get their transition game going.

“It’s huge,’’ Thibodeau said. “They’re athletic and so quick, taking care of the ball is more important because if they get live-ball turnovers, they convert them very quickly. You take bad shots against them, and you will pay for it. And then you have to have that floor balance. They’re very good at challenging shots and releasing, so if you’re not back, you give them an advantage. That’s what you don’t want to do.’’
