With their opponents attempting to copy the success of the Hawks with a zone defense, the Heat may have already figured out how to beat it.

The Heat have won three in a row against teams that used a zone defense, including the same Atlanta team.

"Our comfort level has already grown," said coach Erik Spoelstra. "We like now to see zone. We want to see zone. We want to get better at it.

"We'll see it quite a bit."

"We had a long discussion about it during practice and during film, and it's about being comfortable against it, knowing that you're going to see it, and then knowing what sets you go to that all five guys are comfortable with," LeBron James said. "From the game against Indiana, and then they ran a few possessions in Atlanta and now as a team, we're just more comfortable with it."
