Wade responds to Gabrielle Union's rant: 'My wife is very expressive'
While Courtney Lee's late three was ultimately the deciding factor in the Charlotte Hornets' last-minute victory over the Miami Heat, the story of Game 5 ultimately turned into Dwyane Wade's failed layup attempt moments later - a shot that many believed he was fouled on.
No one appeared more furious by the no-call than Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union, who took to Twitter to rip the referees following the game. Although Wade didn't publicly state that he agreed with Union's comments, he did appear appreciative of her support.

"My wife is very expressive ... Always had been and always will be. She has a voice and she uses it," Wade told The Miami Herald's Ethan J. Skolnick.
While Wade could realistically find some sense of closure should the NBA's Last Two Minute Report indicate that he was indeed fouled, the 34-year-old claims he'll be unaffected by the ruling.
"I don't care about them," Wade said.
Despite his frustrations, Wade is attempting to shift his focus to the Heat's next contest, as Miami will now need to win out to advance to the second round.
"The frustration was last night. The anger is OK. But the frustration has to be removed from our body, your mind," Wade added.
