Erik Spoelstra is one of the most respected, and highest-paid, head coaches in the NBA, with a reputation for disciplined play and getting the most out of his players for more than a decade. Even he will make some bad mistakes.
He just happened to make a season's worth of them in the span of two seconds on Tuesday, with one of them bringing back bad memories for bystander Jalen Rose.
A mistake-riddled stretch saw Spoelstra's Miami Heat blow a lead against the Detroit Pistons with only 1.8 seconds remaining in overtime. Holding a 121-119 lead after a Detroit timeout, the trouble began when the Heat nearly came out of the break with six men on the floor.
