Earlier in the night, the Atlanta Hawks lost to the Toronto Raptors, opening the door for the Miami Heat to take control of the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. All they had to do was beat the Los Angeles Lakers. That should be easy, right? After all, they only have 15 wins all season!
Well, not so much. The Heat just didn’t have its groove in the late West Coast game, and stumbled throughout the four quarters. Somehow, they stumbled into overtime thanks to a late game shot by Dwyane Wade. Overtime was played tight, but Julius Randle hit a shot in the final seconds to give the Lakers the edge and upset the Heat.
