--G Daequan Cook's offense has attracted lots of attention this season (his 75 three-pointers are tied for sixth in the league) but defense remains the way he got his playing time. "Daequan's confidence is obviously at an all-time high for him," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Defensively he's given us a lot of activity, he really is.

--Coach Erik Spoelstra said he's not sure whether his team needs a tweak before the Feb. 19 trade deadline. "They way we're moving forward is, this is our group," he said. "We're spending all of our time and thoughts and preparation with this group."
