DALLAS: Kyrie Irving’s deep 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down sealed the Cavaliers’ 110-107 overtime victory Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks.
LeBron James dribbled the clock down and turned to Irving, whose 27-footer barely beat the buzzer and extended the lead to 109-105 with 13 seconds left.
Iman Shumpert clinched the victory by stripping Deron Williams on the Mavericks’ ensuing possession, similar to how he stripped Dirk Nowitzki at the end of regulation to prevent the Mavericks from getting off a potential game-winning shot.
James had 27 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists while Irving had 22 points and nine assists after a slow start.
