Miami’s Strus loses a 3-pointer in elimination game, again

It didn’t end up mattering: Strus scored 31 points, and the Heat advanced to a first-round meeting with Milwaukee by topping the Bulls 102-91.“They should have given us that one just for the one last year,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.Friday’s erased shot was eerily reminiscent of a play where Strus made a corner 3 in Game 7 of last year’s Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics, only to have it taken away by NBA replay officials watching in Secaucus, New Jersey — when they said his heel, again, was out of bounds before his shot.And just like last year, the Heat wer...
