As a result of O'Neal's flagrant, Jones made two free throws and the Heat got an extra possession, during which Mike Bibby made a 3-pointer. At the time, the Heat were not in the bonus. If it had been called a personal foul at the time, Miami only would have received the ball on an out-of-bounds play.

The league also removed a technical foul on Jones that was called during the fourth quarter, while upgrading his personal foul on Paul Pierce on the play to a flagrant foul. Jones made contact with Pierce's head on the play after he was caught in the air on a pump-fake. An upset Pierce went face-to-face with Jones, their foreheads hitting each other.

Pierce made the two free throws that came with the shooting foul, but did not receive the extra possession.

A minute later, Pierce was ejected when he got a second technical for taunting Dwyane Wade.

The two foul changes were part of several plays reviewed by the league.
