In case you missed it - here’s the shot of the year.

Max Strus drains it from FIFTY NINE FEET to claim the win for Cleveland last night.

We all know Strus could shoot it, but this is on another level.

Here’s the deciding play from last night’s DET/NYK game.

Pay close attention to the contact at the 8 second mark.

Monty Williams was FURIOUS that there was no foul called there, calling it the “worst call of the season.”

What’s your take? Was this the right call?
