Irving’s 20.1-Foot Game-Winning Shot Stuns Nuggets, Secures Mavericks’ Victory

Kyrie Irving was surprised to learn that his game winning buzzer-beater against the Denver Nuggets was from a distance of 20.1 feet marking the second-longest hook shot made by any player this season. The shot, a left-handed hook secured a 107-105 victory for the Dallas Mavericks.

Irving credited his off-hand practice for the spectacular shot which he launched after curling off a baseline screen. Even Nuggets coach Michael Malone acknowledged the brilliance of Irving’s shot. The win was crucial for the Mavericks who are striving to avoid the play-in scenario in the Western Conference standings.

Despite Nikola Jokic off day, Luka Doncic performance and Irving’s clutch shot sealed the win for Dallas earning praise from teammates and opponents alike.
