Erik Spoelstra, a highly respected and well-paid NBA head coach known for disciplined play, made a series of critical mistakes in a game against the Detroit Pistons. After nearly having too many players on the court, Spoelstra called a timeout he didn’t have, leading to a technical foul and a Pistons lead. Despite admitting his errors, including a failed substitution, the Miami Heat suffered a defeat in a game they had fought hard to stay in, ultimately losing due to a string of costly blunders.
