If there is anything good which the six-game winning streak has brought to the Miami Heat, it is unity. Slowly but surely, the team chemistry desired by head coach Erik Spoelstra is getting into its proper place. The Heat, which is coming off from a very impressive road win against the tough Utah Jazz, has bounced back into contention after falling earlier to a mediocre 9-8 win-loss mark. Now, the South Beach outfit is on top of the Southeast Division tied with the Atlanta Hawks at 15-8 card. Spoelstra says dealing with adversity has helped the team come together, according to FOX Sports.

“You can prepare for it as much as you want in the summer, but until you’re actually under the microscope, in the fishbowl, you don’t really know what it’s like. Dealing with a lot of adversity, dealing with such extreme pressure and expectations and speculation – when we weren’t winning we had one of two choices, to either crumble or figure it out together.”
