MIAMI (AP) — There were calls that Miami coach Erik Spoelstra didn’t like.
Just not many of them.
The Heat set a franchise record by fouling only six times, Jimmy Butler shook off a pregame illness to flirt with a triple-double and Miami remained unbeaten at home by beating the undermanned New Orleans Pelicans 109-95 on Saturday night.
“They let us play,” Spoelstra said. “But then if there was any slightest infraction of a step or a travel or a dribble, they called all those. But I actually liked that we didn’t let that get in the way.
