As Game 7 awaits, the NBA is doing some house cleaning on Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final.
First, the league asserted that the officials made six mistakes in the final two minutes of Friday’s game between the Celtics and Heat. Then later on Saturday, the league announced that it was fining the Heat $25,000 for “violating league rules regarding bench decorum.”
“Several players stood for an extended period in Miami’s team bench area, stood away from the team bench, and were on, encroaching upon or entering the playing court during live game action,” the league wrote in a statement.
