Heat win 'one of the craziest ever'

In their recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Miami Heat managed to squeeze one out in a 112-110 victory in double overtime. The Heat were trailing by two points at the end of the first OT. Just then Michael Redd sunk a pull-up jumper off of a crossover giving the Bucks a 105-101 lead with only seconds to go. The Heat were far from giving up though. Eddie Jones ran the perfect play coming off of a screen at the top of the arch and draining a 3-point shot, again putting the Heat down by 2 points. The Bucks were still resting comfortably. They knew all they had to do was inbound the ball and let the Heat foul them. But Van Horn became frazzled, fumbling the pass as it slipped out of his fingers, landing out of bounds. The Heat got the ball back with 5.7 seconds left as Dooling caught the inbound pass and took off the full length of the court, pulling up to sink a 4 foot jumper, with 1.4 seconds left! As time ran out the fans went wild. There wasn't a jaw that wasn't dopped on either bench due to the quickness of performance. Teammate Jones commented on his performance by saying he's never seen anyone besides Allen Iverson do something like that, he didn't know Dooling could move so fast!!
