CLEVELAND – Simply put, Tuesday was one of those what could go wrong kind of endings for the Dallas Mavericks.
Up by one point on Cleveland with just 2.6 seconds remaining – and with the Cavaliers completely out of timeouts – probably everyone, including the Cavs, generally figured the Mavs had this game in the bag. But Cavs forward Max Strus reached in his bag of tricks and poured in a shocking 59-footer at the buzzer to beat the Mavs, 121-119, in stunning fashion at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
It was a game where Strus did a number on the Mavs.
