Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra was not very pleased with his team's performance in Game 3 after they were blown out by the Sixers, 99-79. After the game, coach Spo made sure to let his team know that their effort was simply unacceptable.
The Heat coach admitted that he was pleased by his team's performance on the defensive end. The same cannot be said about their effort on the other end of the floor, though:
“Defensively I think that's what you can hope to expect on the road. Offensively, we were just very poor,” Spoelstra said, via Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

Spoelstra is not one to shy away from criticism and he's making his point abundantly clear here. The Heat had a tremendous opportunity to shut the door on the series in Game 3, but unfortunately for them, they have now let the Sixers creep back into it.
Game 4 is going to take place in Philadelphia again and another loss for the Heat will tie this series up at 2-2. This is the last thing Miami wants right now especially after Joel Embiid made his triumphant return to action following a two-game absence.
