It may not happen often but she took to Twitter to debate a call in the final minute of the game that went against the Miami Heat.

“There’s no reason for me to look at it. It ain’t going to change anything. I thought I did. It wasn’t called,” he told reporters after the game.
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson was also critical of the officiating following his team’s elimination from the playoffs in four games by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He told the media that referees should face fines and suspensions for blown calls.
