The NBA has suspended Mavericks public address announcer Sean Heath for two games for criticizing officials, ESPN reports.

Heath sent out a series of critical tweets after the Mavericks' 122-120 overtime loss to Golden State on April 1.

The league admitted that officials missed a goaltending call on Warriors center Jermaine O'Neal, whose play preceded Stephen Curry's eventual winning jumper.

@nba Danny Crawford just blew a goaltending call and cost the Mavs a game. We will all be awaiting your apology. #pathetic

@EyeOnBasketball That headline should read: Danny Crawford buries Mavericks. Again.

@nba : The ONLY professional league in the US with the reputation that the games are rigged. Know why? Because of games like tonight. #shame
