Michael Beasley makes his power play in Heat loss
Posted by GameSetMatch on 13th October 2009
The experiment was put on hold Sunday. Michael Beasley was back at power forward for the Miami Heat, back at the spot where he built his lottery reputation at Kansas State, back where he earned first-team All-Rookie last season.
