Among the biggest social-media topics after the Miami Heat's victory Wednesday against the New York Knicks was the officiating. 

Well, mostly, from Knicks fans. 

They used Twitter to point out a few questionable calls against Heat forward Jimmy Butler. One was Butler grabbing the leg of Knicks forward Mitchell Robinson while he tried run back down the court. The other was a play it appeared Butler should have been called for traveling after switching his pivot foot. 

Knicks player Josh Hart chimed in following the no-call. At the time, the outcome was still in question. 

One Knicks fan tweeted a collection of questionable calls from the game. 

The bottom line is this: blown calls happen. The same Knicks fans probably had nothing to say earlier this month when Tyler Herro was called out of bounds late in the game when his foot was clearly in play. It negated a Heat layup in a game they lost by two points. 

Herro even responded to call that night. 

Naturally, the Heat fans were livid at the missed call but had nothing to say about their favorable whistles the following game. And vice versa for Knicks fans. 

Can't wait to see the reaction when the teams meet again next Wednesday in New York with playoff seeding on the line.
