Last night, the Miami Heat needed to beat the Wizards and hope that either the Indiana Pacers would lose to the Atlanta or that the Chicago Bulls would lose to the Brooklyn Nets. Unfortunately for the Heat, both the Hawks and the Nets decided to rest their starters which led to the Pacers and the Bulls easily securing playoff spots.
Miami Heat fans were furious with the Hawks for giving their best players the night off .
I HATE YOU
