Max Strus played the role of hero in multiple ways for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. But there was no moment bigger than his wild 59-foot game-winning three-pointer, which came immediately after P.J. Washington gave the Dallas Mavericks a 119–118 lead with 2.1 seconds remaining.
Cleveland initially took a three-point lead with 29.1 seconds left on a Donovan Mitchell three-pointer. But a Kyrie Irving bucket, followed by a turnover, gave Washington a chance to (almost) play hero for Dallas.
Until this happened.
