Cavaliers' Max Strus nailed a spectacular 59-foot buzzer-beater in Mavericks win, which stunned NBA fans
MAX STRUS
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus called game in the most electric way possible against the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.
Right before the final buzzer, Strus heaved a 59-foot 3-pointer from beyond half court to win the game for the Cavs, 121-119.
His Cleveland teammates immediately rushed the court to surround Strus and celebrate his unbelievable buzzer-beater from downtown.
This was truly a remarkable shot, and it’s amazing that Strus just throwing it up there had the focus and range to bank itself right into the net in crunch time.
In fact, it’s the second-longest 3-point buzzer-beater in the NBA’s history for the 3-point era, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.
