It took almost three months, but the Atlanta Hawks finally defeated the Miami Heat - again - on Saturday night.

The game once again went to overtime, and the Hawks once again won, although this time the score was different.

In the first replay since 1983, the Hawks beat the Heat 114-111 in overtime Saturday night to complete a protested game from December, the Associated Press is reporting.

Neither team scored in the 51.9 seconds which had to be replayed, forcing overtime.

"It's a bizarre situation. It doesn't happen often," Heat coach Pat Riley said between games. "And it isn't something that everybody was excited about. But I guarantee you the Atlanta Hawks are very excited about it because they're playing for a season."
