"Avoiding a fine, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau refused to be a whistle-blower on an inadvertent whistle that, ultimately, gave the Heat an extra possession and point in their four-point victory Sunday.

"I'll just leave it alone," Thibodeau said. "I'm not going to say anything. All you have to do is look at the tape."

Asked a follow-up question on what explanation officials gave him, Thibodeau remained tight-lipped.

"I have no comment," he said."
