Serves 'em right for cheating.

I think the Hawks should be given a technical foul too.

This is complete bull. After all the help the cHeat have gotten the last couple years they should have taken that pointless loss and STFU. What a joke franchise.

If I didnt prefer reserving grudges for teams that have won more than 8 games so far this season, Id agree 100%. The Heat are no longer worth it.

Other than being fairly amusing and rediculous, this really isnt a big deal. If something like this happened between two teams vying for their lives as contenders, Id worry about it more.

As is, its just a fairly amusing story about a team that cried foul and now must replay the final minute of a game.

If I'm Mark Cuban I'm filing an official protest for the final 4 games of the Finals. They should replay those games.

Its an interesting thing that happens with sports betting...

I am pretty sure they wont change anything, but do they?

Out of curiosity, I searched for the answer and found this in a gambling forum:

...as far as sportsbooks are concerned - game is over and Hawks won by whatever score it was and all bets paid off will NOT be gone after

books don't care what happened after the fact or what will happen in the future

I didn't search beyond that to verify his answer.

^kinda what I'd assume. To much of a mess to try and recant it at this point.

The NBA ruled that the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of their previous game because the Hawks' scoring table mistakenly ruled that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out.

Pistons coach Flip Saunders can relate."When I was in the CBA, we had a similar situation where we had a protest and they upheld it," Saunders said.

The situation came when he coached in LaCrosse and his team played Birmingham. The officials awarded Birmingham two shooting fouls on what should have been simple change-of-possession fouls."The difference was when we went to play (later), we had seven new players in our team," Saunders said.
