The best pass of Evan Mobley’s life. The worst tackle of Caris LeVert’s. And a historic, improbable buzzer beater from Max Strus that he’d made before. This is what pandemonium looked like in Cleveland Tuesday night, @TheAthleticNBA theathletic.com/5304248/2024/0… – 11:44 PM

Bizarro Night in the NBA: MIL holds CHA to *26* 1H points & leads by as many as 49 in the 2H in a 123-85 win…CHI loses at home to DET shooting 2 for 29 on 3s…and in the only competitive game of the night’s 1st 9, CLE beats DAL on a 3/4-court buzzer-beating heave by Strus. – 10:42 PM

Only fitting, with the orchestrator of The Shot back in the building he called home for six years, #Cavs fans were given another unforgettable moment to savor. Just not from Kyrie Irving this time. It was Max Strus.

Two games against Cleveland. In the first one at AAC, Mavs had a 20-point lead and lost by three. Tonight, they get beat by a 60-foot buzzer-beater that even Max Strus called lucky. – 9:30 PM

Scotto: You touched on Bruce Brown being second behind Dejounte Murray as far as the Lakers’ trade target pecking order. I went on SportsNet in Toronto recently, and they asked me about Brown. Certainly, the Knicks because he’s Tom Thibodeau’s ideal type of player. By the way, you talked about the Lakers’ interest in Brown. The Knicks had Brown as their No. 1 free agent target ahead of Max Strus and other players. The other team I heard was the Dallas Mavericks. They also had considered going after him in free agency with the money they had available before they got Grant Williams. They’ve looked at upgrading the three and four positions while turning down requests for Dereck Lively. -via HoopsHype / January 25, 2024
