The Miami 305 needed to reach the 50-point score with a 49-48 score against the Chicago Triplets. Lance Stephenson inbounded the ball to Michael Beasley, who then passed the ball back to Stephenson. Beasley got the ball back and was ready to go for an iso bucket.

However, he made a great decision and passed the ball to wide-open Mario Chalmers in the corner. Before Triplets' Montrezl Harrell could close in, Chalmers drained the 3-pointer to take his team beyond the 50-point mark.

Michael Beasley reveals he told Mario Chalmers to move for an iso

Michael Beasley was the best player on the Miami team. Understandably so, when the time came to seal the title, Beasley was confident that he could lead his team to victory with a last-second iso. However, he ended up passing the ball to Mario Chalmers with no room to operate.

After the game, Beasley said that he had told the former Miami Heat star to move out of the way because he wanted the last shot.

"I actually told [Chalmers] to move. I wanted the shot," Beasley joked with a big laugh. "But no, he's been doing it his whole life, been doing it his whole career. Just trust. It ain't even really trust, it's just knowing what's going on. That's Mario Chalmers."

Michael Beasley scored a game-high 25 points, 12 rebounds and three assists in the title win. Lance Stephenson had 14 points and eight rebounds. Mario Chalmers had five points, two rebounds and three assists.
