It was fun while it lasted. Well, it was for Miami Heat fans. Before the Chicago Bulls ended Miami’s streak of 27 consecutive wins—the second longest in NBA history—the South Beach crew hadn’t lost since February 1. It may not seem that long ago but a lot goes down in 54 days.

Tiger Woods reclaimed his No. 1 world ranking for the first time since 2010 and Brandon Knight lost his life at the hands of DeAndre Jordan (well, at least according to Wikipedia). Here are 27 Ways the Sports World Changed Since the Miami Heat’s Streak Began.
