Teams are going to start getting nastier, more competitive and they want it, and they're going to get ready for playoffs. And when they happens you just have to walk away from it and you have to play at a higher level.
More Quotes from Pat Riley:

We have a distinct disadvantage, being the fourth game in five nights. But we're playing good they're playing good.

Things could change a lot by then.
