Cavaliers G Max Strus hits halfcourt buzzer-beater to shock Mavericks

Cavaliers G Max Strus hits halfcourt buzzer-beater to shock Mavericks

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 attempt at a game-winner. Understandably, most Cavaliers defenders collapsed on Doncic. That left Mavericks forward P.J. Washington wide open under the basket… Source link

Mavericks’ dependency on Luka Doncic’s MVP-level production shows need for significant move

DETROIT — Every team in the Western Conference feels like it’s one significant move away from separating itself from the muck and being established as a power. Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks illustrate that better than anyone, it seems. Monday, they seemed to validate their run to the conference finals in a Game 7-like beatdown of the hot Phoenix Suns. A few nights before, it was hard for them to muster the requisite energy to match a hungry Detroit Pistons team — falling in overtime… Source link

Yahoo NBA DFS Primer Warriors vs. Mavericks: Tuesday (5/24)

Many people expected Golden State to take care of business in this series, but I don’t think anyone expected it to be this lopsided. The Warriors are looking for the sweep in this Game 4, and it’s becoming clear that the Mavs are outmatched right now. Luka Doncic is doing everything possible to carry this team, but it’s unfair when the other team has the next four-best players in the series. This is a spot for Dallas to bounce back, though, and they need to save some face… Source link
