The Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday with a 121-119 win, wasting a huge night from Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic.
The stunning part wasn't that the Cavaliers won; it was how they won. Guard Max Strus hit a halfcourt heave at the buzzer.
Have a look at the incredible make:

That is one of the shots of the year. It also wasted an incredible showing from Doncic as he put up 45 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds.
On most nights that would be good enough for a win, especially considering Doncic's go-ahead dime with 2.6 seconds left.
Not this night.
Not on a night when somebody hit a 60-foot buzzer beater.
