No, A Referee Did Not High-Five Erik Spoelstra During Last Night's Game
I counted more than 500 tweets alleging a referee high-fived Erik Spoelstra after a Mike Miller three-pointer to open the fourth quarter last night.

Take A Profane Trip Through History With The Dirty Mouths Of LeBron James And Dwyane Wade
Last night's NBA Finals Game Four was tremendous, though its result—and the 3-1 series lead seized by Miami—may throw a bit of a wet blanket on the entertainment value going forward.
