Heat wrap up No. 5 seed with 2 OT win (AP)
For some reason, the New Jersey Nets weren't ready to let their forgettable season end. Not in regulation. Or after one overtime, either. After that, well, Mario Chalmers decided to put the Nets out of their misery. Chalmers opened the scoring in the second OT, then found Yakhouba Diawara for a banked-in 3-pointer with 2:27 left, and the Miami Heat pulled away to finally clinch the No.
