Though the Heat eventually pulled out a 94–87 overtime win over Raptors in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal, Miami could have won by a larger margin if not for a bizarre play late in overtime.
In the final minute of the overtime period, Wade drove to the hoop and attempted a layup. The ball bounced off the glass, off the front of the rim and then came to settle on the back of the rim.

By rule, the ball was called dead and there was a jump ball at center court.
Wade eventually put the finishing touch on Miami’s win with a dunk. He scored 30 points in the game.
