“With Duncan, it’s not even a surprise anymore. He’s so skilled offensively and fits within the unit,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, following Miami’s 112-103 win over the Toronto Raptors on Dec. 6.

“He knows how to complement either unit, he also knows how to be a focal point of actions. He creates overreactions. He’s got incredible chemistry with Jimmy Butler.”
