Erik Spoelstra said an early whistle from referee Eric Lewis on the Miami Heat's final play in the 4th quarter contributed to a confusing inbounds sequence. The Heat lost to the Raptors 117-109 in overtime, putting a significant dent in their playoff hopes.

The sequence in question came during an inbounds play with the game tied at 103 with 10 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Lewis blew his whistle, leading to Heat players starting their play before inbounds passer Dion Waiters had received the ball. James Johnson missed the ensuing game-winning shot off the broken play.

Dwyane Wade was supposed to receive the inbounds pass on the final sequence, but he never touched the ball.

"You blow the whistle when you hand the ball to somebody when they're out of bounds, not before. That got us moving, into motion, before that. Then it was just sideways from there. It's very disappointing that that play was allowed to continue. From our vantage point, that was a botched play. You just set it again. That happens a million times during the course of an NBA season," said Spoelstra.

"All I know is by the time [I] turned to get it backcourt, Dion still had the ball. It definitely took us out of what we wanted to do," added Wade.
