Erik Spoelstra is broadly thought-about to be among the finest coaches in NBA historical past. He didn’t look the half on Tuesday.
The Miami Warmth head coach dedicated an uncharacteristic error throughout his group’s time beyond regulation loss in opposition to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Enviornment in Detroit.
The Warmth led 121-119 with 1.8 seconds left on the OT clock. The Pistons ran a superb play popping out of their timeout. With Cade Cunningham inbounding from the sideline, middle Jalen Duran made a rapid transfer towards the basket for a game-tying alley-oop jam.
A pissed off Spoelstra instantly referred to as a timeout. However the Warmth now not had any timeouts left, that means the Pistons had been awarded a technical free throw.
