Max Strus hit a game-winning shot from beyond half-court to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a win over the Dallas Mavericks. But off the hardwood, it gave Travis Kelce bragging rights for his quarterback.
As the game came to a close, Mavericks guard Luka Doncic found forward PJ Washington out the back for a layup to take a 119-118 lead with 2.6 seconds left.
That led to an inbound from Strus to teammate Evan Mobley. Mobley in turn passed the ball back to Strus, who threw a shot from about 60 percent of the court.
Strus made the shot and Rocket Mortgage Arena went into hysterics as the buzzer sounded and the Cavaliers walked away victorious.
It looked like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was watching the game and was left in agony as his hometown Mavs lost the game.

With Mahomes in disbelief after the loss, Kelce took time to celebrate the Cavaliers’ win
The Tyler, Texas native took to Twitter – tweeting a video of the shot with the caption “Ain’t no way” and tagging his teammate and Cleveland, Ohio native Travis Kelce.
Kelce responded kindly and said, “Right cash!!! Those guys have the juice now!! @cavs.’
Although he has lived outside of Northeast Ohio for several years, Travis still has ties to his hometown.
That includes watching the Cavaliers, who had an incredibly strong season in 2023-24.
They are currently second in the Eastern Conference and are seven and a half games behind the Boston Celtics.
They are deep in the playoffs: 16.5 games ahead of the Brooklyn Nets, who are on the outside looking in.
In the grand scheme of the NBA, the Cavaliers own the fifth-best record behind the Celtics and three Western Conference teams: the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets.
