Telling the new lead to get the hell to the other baseline.
Under 2 minutes in the 4th and in overtime they have to chop the clock or a start of a count.
or
Signal they have last shot.

The point, at least in the NBA, has nothing to do with a timing issue or telling the new lead to get to the other base line and Welpe isn't referring to the signal officials give to indicate last second shot responsibilities. You tend to see the point that Welpe is referring to whenever there's contact that wasn't deemed illegal by the official and I guess the point is a kind of "play-on" signal.

Should also point out that under NBA rules the clock stops on made shots with a minute or less on the clock in the first three quarters and the final two minutes of the fourth quarter/any overtime period. The clock stops on a made basket in the final minute of the second half and any OT period under NCAA rules.

This...although I've seen the point the other way with no contact on an uncontested layup in the middle of the first half. Maybe he is just telling the players time to go the other way now.

Under 1 minute in the second half. Sounds like you're talking about some crappy professional league where they play music during live balls and people dance in the aisles rather than watching the game.
