Heat Team Report
(Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:05:39 PST)
The controversy regarding Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers is over, as far as the NBA is concerned. The Heat has put the matter to rest publicly, but coach Erik Spoelstra respectfully disagrees with the league.
To recap: The Heat lost to the Clippers, 97-96. In the final 7.6 seconds, with the Heat trailing by one point, guard Dwyane Wade stole an inbounds pass from Baron Davis. As Wade was falling out of bounds he threw a pass downcourt, where Shawn Marion, Udonis Haslem and Daequan Cook all were running free for what would have been the game-winning dunk.
But referee Courtney Kirkland inadvertently blew his whistle. According to league rules, an inadvertent whistle halts play.
