Denver's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had smacked Butler across the arms as he was seemingly rising up for a shot in the quarter's closing seconds. The referees disagreed, though, ruling that KCP made a side-to-side sweep, meaning Miami got a side out rather than two free throws for Butler.In an immediate example of the mystical karmic concept known as "Ball don't lie," Butler responded to losing two free...
