A tipped pass was only the start of the pandemonium between the Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
The fun began with the Mavericks down 118-117 and 8.3 seconds left. Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber nearly lost the game with a mistimed pass to Luka Doncic, who still came down with the ball and drove to the basket for an attempted at a game-winner.
Understandably, most of the Cavaliers defense collapsed on Doncic. That left Mavericks forward P.J. Washington wide open under the basket for a go-ahead lay-up.
Unfortunately for the Mavericks, that left 2.
