It was Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs were up 3 games to 2 and led the game 95-92.

The Heat had the final possession with the shot clock turned off. Chalmers brought the ball up the court and passed it to LeBron James as he came off a screen set by Chris Bosh. James had space to shoot and immediately took the 3 with 11 seconds to go. The shot hit the left side of the rim and bounced out as Bosh skied in for the most important rebound of his career. He quickly brought it down and passes the ball out to Ray Allen who stepped out beyond the 3-point line.

When it comes to shooting 3-pointers, Allen is one of the best. He didn't hesitate and pulled up over Tony Parker who was desperately trying to close out on him and drained it. The crowd erupted as the game was now tied with 5.2 to go. The Heat were able to carry this momentum into overtime, who went on to win the game and eventually the series in Game 7.

This was the 3rd championship in Heat history.
