'I couldn't believe it,' teammate Luka Dončić said of Irving's buzzer beater. 'I don't think people realize how tough of a shot that is.'
DALLAS — It’s almost harder to describe the shot that used to beat the on Sunday than it was for him to make it. A leaning floater? A left-handed touch shot from just above the free throw line? Could it be described as a prayer if it’s a shot he practices? Could it be a miracle when his teammates say they weren’t even surprised when it went in? The ’s official play-by-play described Irving’s shot as a “driving hook shot” from 21 feet.
Ones who can toss up 30-foot contested 3s, as Dončić did on the possession before the game-winner, or 21-foot lefty floaters at the buzzer like they aren’t even difficult. When the Mavericks rebound this many misses, allowing for Dončić and Irving to take 50 combined shots, as the duo did on Sunday, their math advantages make even more sense. In two prior meetings against Denver, Dallas was the team that was bullied.
