MIAMI -- In Miami, the NBA's decision that LaMelo Ball grabbing Bam Adebayo was an ejection-worthy flagrant foul didn't register much of a reaction.
In Charlotte, the fact that the ruling didn't include a suspension brought relief.
Ball will play Friday for the Hornets in their play-in elimination game at Orlando -- the reality that Charlotte coach Charles Lee hoped for, and something that Miami coach Erik Spoelstra didn't seem to have a problem with.
