The Hawks and Heat to re-do Dec. 19th game.

This is pretty wild.

For the first time since 1982, the NBA is going to replay the end of a game. A game which saw the Atlanta Hawks beat the Miami Heat 117-111 in OT on Dec. 19.

The NBA realized that Shaquille O'Neal shouldn't have fouled out of the game, and so they will replay the last 51.9 seconds, the score was in favor of the Hawks 112-111, at that point in the game.

The game will be replayed before the Hawks vs. Heat game on March 8th--in Atlanta--where the original game took place.

Should be interested, will Shaq even be healthy for that game? Will Riley still even be the coach of the Heat then? Lastly, could this redo help the Heat tack on another win late in the season, to possibly help Miami sneak into the playoffs?

Mark your calendars Heat fans, you're going to need this one.
