Memphis Grizzlies: top 5 plays from 2016

2. Mario Chalmers’ game winner against Detroit
Mario Chalmers has always had the clutch gene. Whether it’s hitting game winners for the Grizz, knocking down big shots in the finals for the Heat or nailing go-ahead baskets for Kansas (Editor’s note: NOT A FOND MEMORY FOR ME), Mario has been a reliable option for years.
On January 14th, 2016, with the game tied at 101-101 and 7 seconds left, Chalmers dribbled up the court and sized up his defender, he lost the ball as Marc Gasol ran into him. He then picked the ball up and sank a midrange jumper while drawing the foul with 0.8 left.
