MIAMI -- Hassan Whiteside groused about the officiating after the Miami Heat's Game 4 loss to Charlotte Hornets, going as far to call their first-round series "the flop-offs."
Hornets coach Steve Clifford hadn't heard of the complaints Wednesday morning at shootaround ahead of Game 5, but he disagreed with the characterization.
"Listen, I watch the films really closely," Clifford said. "If you're going to get into career flopping between the two rosters, it wouldn't be close. So, I don't -- yeah. ... We don't have anybody that flops. We haven't had a flopping issue all year.
