Monty Williams has said that the Miami Heat "stepped up the pressure" to beat the New Orleans Pelicans last night.
The defending NBA champions fought back from 11 points down at half time to clinch a 107-88 win over the Pelicans.
The New Orleans coach told reporters: "Give them credit. They came out in the third quarter and stepped up the pressure.
"They made a lot of tough shots but our guys, as a whole, we've got to grow up and understand that when you have a [good] half against a team, they're going to come out and attack and put pressure."
The Pelicans host the Washington Wizards tonight.
