Heat’s Erik Spoelstra vents after a night of ‘egos’ and an officiating ‘last laugh’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:50:17 GMT

The consternation began when Jimmy Butler took an elbow to the face and was called for a foul midway through what would turn into Saturday night’s 126-114 overtime loss to the Orlando Magic at Amway Center.The final bit of fuel on the fire was when the Miami Heat were called for a technical foul with 10.4 seconds to play after Butler walked off the court and into the locker room amid play, while still technically in the game.Both calls were made by referee James Williams, the last seemingly triggering a breaking point for Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.“It was kind of a bizarre deal,” Spoelstra said of the late technical in a game already decided. “There was like half a dozen instances we had with that official.“It’s neither here nor there.”Spoelstra attempted to leave it there, with criticism of officiating last week leading to a $30,000 fine for Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet, albeit with a diatribe far more pointed and profane than Spoels...

It was named for poet Sidney Lanier when it was built after World War II. Lanier served as a private in the Confederate army and l...
