Heat center Bam Adebayo after losing Game 3: "We just made mistake after mistake on offense. Not communicating, throwing the ball away, turnovers that shouldn't happen in the playoffs. We need to check that box. "If you watched the game, we had lackadaisical turnovers, unforced turnovers for no reason. I feel like that was the difference."
