Hawks Win! Hawks Win!
Posted by: Micah Hart on March 9, 2008 at 4:50AM AFT

In the end, the only thing that really changed was the final score.

I've reviewed the tape, and I'm nearly positive (maybe 99.8%) this one can finally be put to bed, as the Hawks held off the Miami Heat (again) to take a 114-111 win in the replay of the final 51.9 seconds of the game originally played on Dec. 19.

The Heat had the ball to restart, but Mark Blount missed a shot inside that would have given Miami a chance to get within a point. The Hawks ran the clock down inside 15 seconds on the ensuing possession but failed to score, giving Miami one last chance to tie the game. Dwyane Wade had a look at a three-pointer from the corner, but it caromed off and into the waiting hands of Joe Johnson, who dribbled out the final few seconds to preserve the victory.

I don't know - I guess more hijinx would have been interesting to see, but for a team desperately in need of some activity in the win column I will take the result.

The teams went back into the locker room directly after the conclusion, and are now preparing for the regularly scheduled game to begin momentarily.

Let's get two!
