This has gotta be the craziest ending of the year! The emotions had to be through the roof in those final minutes, especially with the no-calls on both sides (the crowd was getting pretty fed up with that). And just when it looks like Dallas has stolen the game, Max Strus (who’s already on fire from three) caps it off with that shot…insanity!

[@penalosarusselgian3298]

The calls were heavily favoured on Cavs. Kyrie drove to the basket and got fouled and no call. Josh Green corner three, he got fouled and no call. Levert clear path foul on Kyrie overturned into normal foul. Kyrie offensive foul on Strus, that was bs. Strus was moving his feet and locking Kyrie’s arm and it was an offensive foul? Illegal screen on Allen on Mitchell’s bank shot three. Allen’s foul on PJ's dunk with 2.6 seconds left.
