The end of the Heat’s bench Thursday looked like a commercial for a high-priced men’s clothing store. Among the fashion models were Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.

On the court was a thrift store of desperation. Somehow, the Heat’s mix-and-match ensemble lasted three overtimes and won it.

In its most impressive and exciting game of the season, the Heat defeated the Hawks 116-109 in triple overtime at Philips Arena without two of the best players in the NBA and only 10 players in uniform. The Heat avenged its only loss of the season winning its fourth game in five nights.

It was a Herculean effort in just the Heat’s third triple-overtime game in team history.
