NBA says officials blew Durant call

-

Golden State’s Kevin Durant should have been called for a discontinu­ed dribble on the Warriors’ final possession of what became a 120-118 win over the Miami Heat on Sunday, the NBA said in a report.

Golden State made two free throws on that possession, the final points of the game.

The league also opted not to fine Heat coach Erik Spoelstra for his postgame comments about the officiatin­g.

Guard Jeremy Lin was waived by the Atlanta Hawks and intends to sign this week with the Toronto Raptors. Lin and the Hawks worked out a buyout agreement.

West Virginia starters Esa Ahmad and Wes Harris were dismissed from the team for undisclose­d violations of unspecifie­d athletic department policies. Ahmad, a senior, was the team’s third-leading scorer this season at 12 points per game and the third-leading rebounder at 5.8. Harris, a junior, averaged 7.9 points and 4.5 rebounds.
