Miami HEAT President Pat Riley spoke to the assorted media a week after the team’s loss in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Here are some of the highlights from his 45-minute press conference.
ON THE END OF THE SEASON
I thought we had an absolutely great year. It was a tremendous story that was developing. In a lot of stories the endings aren’t very good. But I thought we had a year that we could really be proud of. Doing what we did throughout the course of the season, overcoming a lot of adversity, and getting to the last 16 seconds of the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals is quite a feat.
