Dwyane Wade, wife both cry foul over no-call at end of Heat loss
Dwyane Wade drove the baseline to the basket, looking for a game-tying bucket or a foul. All he got was contact, no call.
Wade popped up off the floor and went right at the ref, furious that no foul was called and the Charlotte Hornets were able to hold on for a 90-88 win in Game 5 for a 3-2 series lead.
Wade drove right into Cody Zeller and Courtney Lee and clearly made contact.

The contact Zeller made with @DwyaneWade w 4.5 secs was a foul. A defender must land in the same spot he left floor to be vertical.

Later, Wade said he didn't need to see a replay to confirm his belief that he drew a foul. "There's no reason for me to look at it. It ain't going to change anything. I thought I did. It wasn't called."

Apparently Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union, was just as pissed off as he was.

They need to get fined. Period. Crappy officiating deserves a FINE and suspension. Not after the fact "oh well" https://t.co/B6CSxn4ck2

In all fairness I DID let refs know when they gave us calls we didn't deserve... his response "I thought you'd be at the concert" #FineEm

2 min report is BS... after the fact WHO CARES?!?!?! If you don't #FineEm what's the motivation to get it right in the future?? #logic

If players/coaches/owners get fined for complaints about poor officiating, makes sense that poor officiating =fines for the refs #logic

The ending spoiled a vintage night by Wade, who scored 25 and had a highlight reel dunk.

He even managed to avoid a goaltending call when Lee missed a layup with about a minute left.
