With Miami Heat 2 superstars, Lebron James and Dwyane Wade, sitting on the sidelines last night it was looking like the Atlanta Hawks were going to breeze their way into a victory, and it was looking that way until Chris Bosh hit a 3 pointer leaving 0.06 seconds left in the game that tied the game in sending the game into overtime.  With Mario Chalmers stepping up in a major way and make 2 big back to back layups to begin the overtime it was looking like the Heat were going to win the game, but just like the entire game the Heat and Hawks continue to battle back and forth and the Hawks ended up falling in the 3rd overtime.  People have continuously joked saying that Miami didn't have a big 3 but maybe a big 2 or 2 1/2, but Bosh showed last night why he was a major attribute to the Heat and is a part of the Big 3.  Bosh ended the game with 33 points 14 rebounds in the 116-109 victory over the Hawks.  Mario Chalmers added 29 points and 8 assist to the victory and the Heat held the Hawks to 0 points in the 3rd overtime.  The game was a major statement game for the Heat who were able to win the game with James and Wade in which a lot of people believed wasn't possible and that the Heat bench wasn't that good.  This season the Heat made some major moves bringing in Shane Battier who also had a good defensive game for the Heat last night and was able to shut down Joe Johnson of the Hawks.  Johnson ended the game with 20 points and 2 rebounds but the story of the night for the Hawks was their 11th man off the bench Ivan Johnson, if no one knew who Ivan Johnson was before they do after last night.  The game last night was a great win by the Heat and also a learning experience for the Hawks who were able to beat the Heat on Monday in Miami.
