Mavs’ Kyrie Irving Beat Nuggets With Sublime Buzzer Beater, and NBA Fans Were in Awe

Kyrie Irving NBA Nuggets Mavs Damian Lillard Jalen Brunson Nikola Jokic

Kyrie Irving called game for the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, sinking an incredible shot ahead of the final buzzer in order to lift his team to a win over the reigning-champion Denver Nuggets.

With the game knotted at 105, Irving made a cut during the inbounds play and received the ball in stride. He attacked the middle of the court before throwing up a difficult left-handed running shot around Nikola Jokic, which miraculously found the bottom of the net.

It was a critical win for the Mavericks, too. With the 107–105 victory, Dallas (39–29) moves into the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, just behind the Sacramento Kings (38–28). 

American Airlines Center erupted in celebration after Irving’s dramatic game-winner, and Luka Doncic was sent to the floor in disbelief over his teammate’s incredible shot. The buzzer-beating floater left the NBA world in awe, too, as fans, pundits and even NBA stars such as Damian Lillard and Jalen Brunson weighed in on the moment on social media.
