2008 - Atlanta defeats the Miami Heat in the first NBA"do-over" game in a quarter-century. On December 19, 2007 Atlanta's scorer mistakenly fouled out Miami's Shaquille O'Neal with 51.9 seconds left in overtime and the Hawks up, 114-111, after the foul shots were made. Miami appealed and the league ordered the end of the game to be replayed. The game ends in anti-climactic fashion, as neither team scores. Despite having only five fouls, Shaq does not play in the redo, having been traded in the interim to the Phoenix Suns.
