But, a lot of what our season has been about is guys stepping up into situations they’ve never been in before.”<\/p>\n “Whether it’s depth players playing during crunch-time or a situation like Jay [Huff] going to the line with 0.1 [seconds] in a one-point game and he’s never done that in an NBA game and he will learn from that. We had some other mistakes down the stretch that were costly, those are things we must learn from.”<\/p>\n Alexander Toledo is a contributor to Indiana Pacers On SI and producer\/co-host of the\u00a0Five on the Floor podcast<\/a>, covering the Miami Heat and NBA.
