Ahead of Saturday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra commented was asked about 3x All-Star Bam Adebayo getting hit

MIAMI – After Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo felt a certain official was disrespectful after Friday night's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 104-104, there was discipline to the big-man. Adebayo would be slapped with a $50,000 fine by the NBA as announced Saturday afternoon, which garnered a response from Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra.

The Heat has now wasted a fourth-quarter lead in seven of its last eight losses and in a total of 14 losses this season. Only the Minnesota Timberwolves entered Sunday with more blown fourth-quarter leads (16 blown fourth-quarter leads) than the Heat this season.
