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.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and center Bam Adebayo left Friday night’s 106-104 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves upset and frustrated. Not just because the Heat wasted a fourth-quarter lead for the sixth time in its last seven losses, but also because of the officiating.
