What Spoelstra wouldn't get into was a conversation with Whiteside on the bench during the first half and then the decision not to reinsert his shot-blocking center in the second half until 4:23 remained in the third quarter. That was after Whiteside had scored 19 points in the first half, his most prolific half as a member of the Heat, and after the Bucks had pushed to an eight-point lead, their largest of the game to that stage.
