Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says Max Strus' overturned 3 in Game 7 to provide 'case study' for league

MIAMI -- As the Miami Heat digest a "heartbreaking" 100-96 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, Erik Spoelstra and his staff believe that a momentum-changing overturned call in the third quarter will provide a "case study" for the NBA as far as replay reviews go moving forward.

The call in question came with 11:04 remaining in the third quarter, when Heat guard Max Strus knocked down a 3-pointer deep in the corner that cut the Celtics' lead, which had been as many as 17 earlier in the first half, to 56-54.
