In the game which took 2-1/2 months to compete, Atlanta has defeated Miami in the 51.9-second redo scheduled for today. The conclusion was thoroughly exciting.
Miami had the ball first, but Mark Blount missed a turnaround jumper in the lane. Joe Johnson could have clinched it for the Hawks, but his bank shot rolled off the rim with 19 seconds to go.

Miami raced down court and called timeout to set up a play that could have forced a second overtime period -- more than 2 1/2 months after the first one began. The Heat managed to get the ball to Dwyane Wade, but he missed a desperation 3 from the corner with 1.5 seconds left.
NBA basketball! Yeah!

Pat Riley had like 80 days to plan for this "game," and he drew up a play for Mark Blount? His mind must really be on the draft.
