Thanks again for following through with this request.

Wade more or less went strait up while Lebron came flying across the lane to get there.

Wade was in LGP and jumped up as he's permitted to do.

While I can see a no call on Lebron, I don't see that a call is wrong with the way he came into the play....he didn't have LGP and was not in Melo's path at any time. Often that play is passed on, but technically, bainsey is correct.
