More on this storyline
Ira Winderman: Erik Spoelstra on Bam Adebayo $50,000 NBA fine, "I don't think he was out of control. Bam has a great reputation, very respectful." Says he thought referee Kevin Cutler was the one who offered the more aggressive response in brushing aside Adebayo. -via x.com / March 8, 2025
“I’m pretty cool with all the referees,” Adebayo continued. “That’s the thing. I’m not confrontational, but I am emotional when I’m out there because we’re fighting to get wins. Everybody does it. I’ve seen dudes really say some crazy stuff to referees and they don’t take them out. So I had the decency enough to wait until after the game to have my conversation because it’s like, ‘I want to have a conversation with you.’ -via Miami Herald / March 8, 2025
Anthony Chiang: However, the NBA's Last Two Minute report says the Heat shouldn't have had possession of the ball in that last-second situation anyway because "Highsmith (MIA) touches the ball last before it goes out of bounds" on what was ruled a Timberwolves turnover last night. -via x.com / March 8, 2025
