Max Strus' Buzzer-Beater Stuns NBA Fans as Cavs Beat Luka Dončić, Mavs

Scott PolacekFeb 27, 2024

Have a moment, Max Strus.

The Cleveland Cavaliers guard posted 21 points in Tuesday's 121-119 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, but it was his final three that stood out. After P.J. Washington gave the visitors the lead in the final seconds, Strus drained a shot from beyond halfcourt at the buzzer to give the Cavaliers the dramatic win.

Social media reacted accordingly:

Strus' shot overshadowed Luka Dončić's impressive showing, as the Mavericks star finished with 45 points, 14 assists, nine rebounds and three steals behind 17-of-29 shooting from the field and 6-of-11 shooting from deep.

Kyrie Irving also scored 30 points against his former team, while Donovan Mitchell poured in a team-high 31 for the Cavaliers.

But it was Strus who stole the spotlight and helped Cleveland improve to 38-19 with its second straight win.
