4 three-pointers in 1 minute + stunner!The Cavaliers 4 for 1 Heat really earned, and the 21 + 4 helped the team second in the East

On February 28, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the Cavaliers sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Mavericks, before this game the Mavericks lost to the Pacers, they urgently needed a victory to stop the decline, after all, every game in the West is now a battle, a loss may make itself fall out of the top six in the West, as a result, Doncic tried his best, but still failed to prevent the loss, and the team was killed by the Cavaliers.

We won't say much about the game process, here is mainly about the play of the two teams at key moments in the fourth quarter: as Kleber hit a three-pointer, the Mavericks led by 10 points with 4 minutes left in regular time, Allen killed inside, Irving scored 5 points in a row to respond, and with 3 minutes left in regular time, Strus hit a three-pointer, Mitchell hit a three-pointer, and then Green scored two points, and Strus hit a three-point shot in a row to help the team lead by 3 points.

After that, Irving threw a kill to help the team chase down to only 1 point, Mobley missed, PJ Washington seized the opportunity to hit a layup, and the Mavericks overtook by 1 point, just when everyone thought that Washington's shot was an attack that killed the game, Strus received the ball in the backcourt and directly hit a long-range whistle three-point shot to kill the game, helping the Cavaliers defeat the Mavericks 121-119, and Strus reached a distance of 17.68 meters.

That record is second only to Graham's three-point range in '21 when he hit a 18.59-meter shot from the Thunder. After chatting about the ups and downs of the last moments, let's talk about the players' play, first talk about the Mavericks, although the Mavericks lost this game by luck, but they can obviously do better, and even said that they don't have to play to the final moment, at the last moment, the team let the opponent shoot three points in a row, and Kidd did not make lineup adjustments.

Kidd's reuse of Kleber in this game is the reason for the team's loss, Kleber moves slowly and has poor confrontation ability, he can only serve as a space shooter, and he is of little help on the defensive end, because his presence allows the opponent to get more opportunities to shoot three points easily, and Gafford who has a better defense, as a result, only got 6 minutes of playing time in this game and scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, Gafford is a player who the Mavericks exchanged for a first-round pick, and Kidd is wasting talent.

Doncic did his best in this game, he shot 17 of 29 from the field, 6 of 11 from three-point range and got 45 points, 9 rebounds, 14 assists and 3 steals, Irving also played a good performance, he got 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, the dual core has been well compatible, but the team's defense is always a big problem, they can obviously put out more defensive lineups, but Kidd just doesn't do this, I think after the end of this season, Kidd may be cut.

The Cavaliers scored the most points on the side of this game, Mitchell, he shot 11 of 20 from the field, 7 of 11 from three-point range and got 31 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, but there were 7 turnovers, Garland's performance was not good, 2 of 10 shots from the field, 1 of 5 three-pointers got 8 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists, the two big interior Allen got 19 points and 9 rebounds, Mobley scored 12 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, LeVert got 11 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists off the bench, and Niang scored 10 points and 5 rebounds.

And to say that the biggest contributor to the Cavaliers' win in this game, then there is no doubt that Strus, he hit 4 three-pointers in 1 minute, including a super long shot, in the entire final quarter Strus scored 15 points and 1 rebound in a single quarter with a total of 5 three-pointers, and Strus shot 7 of 12 in the whole game, and 7 of 10 three-pointers got 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and the performance was very good.

Looking at Strus's excellent performance now, it is estimated that no fans will question the Cavaliers' decision to trade him in the first place. Last season, the Cavaliers finished fourth in the East, but they were eliminated by the Knicks in the first round due to a lack of qualified forwards, which did not hit the Cavaliers, and they targeted Strus, who helped the Heat reach the Finals in the offseason, and eventually acquired him through a trade.

In order to get him, the Cavaliers sent two second-round picks, Stevens and Osman took Strus through a three-way trade, and this is still a sign-and-trade deal, the Cavaliers gave Strus a 4-year 63 million contract, which many fans thought was not worth it at the time, after all, Strus was just a draft loser, and what Spo is best at is to make players play the most value, and they may not be able to play such a performance if they leave the Heat, such as Nunn and Vincent who the Lakers have won.

However, after Strus joined the Cavaliers, he played a very good performance, averaging 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game this season, maybe the data can't show his value, his presence makes the Cavaliers' lineup more reasonable, and the offense and defense have also been improved, so the Cavaliers have achieved the second record in the East this season.
