    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of their game last month because the NBA said the official scorer ruled incorrectly that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out. This will be the first time since 1982 the league has sent teams back on the court for a replay.

    The Hawks won 117-111 at home in overtime Dec. 19. The NBA said Friday the replay will be held before the teams' next scheduled game -- March 8 in Atlanta. Play will start from the time after O'Neal's disputed sixth foul.

    The Hawks also were fined $50,000, with commissioner David Stern ruling the team was "grossly negligent" in failing to address the mistake.</div>

    Personally, there have been more crucial mistakes made by officiating crews that warranted such drastic measures...yet, those went conveniently overlooked.

    LMFAO!!! Heat are joke!

    When they watched the game over again, I hope Stern notice Wade getting tons of touch fouls! Although he probably to them to officiate like that.

    The Hawks scorekeepers failed to count a Raptors basket last year that led to us being down in the last minute and ultimately losing the game. I don't know what is distracting them down there, it's not like there's anybody else in the building besides the teams and league officials.
