Kyrie Irving's left-hand floater to seal game sends fans wild, Dallas Mavericks take 2-1 playoff series lead against Oklahoma City Thunder

In game 3 of the 2nd round of the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks got the chance to take the series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, for most of the game, it looked like they could not take advantage of their home crowd cheering them on. Superstar Kyrie Irving decided to take over. He not only heated up when it mattered but finished it off with an insane shot that left fans stunned.

The Thunder put on an impressive defensive performance to limit both Irving and Luka Doncic in the first half. But starting from the 3rd quarter, Doncic started to dominate the game. Towards the end of the 4th quarter, it was Irving’s turn.

He used his array of dribbling moves to hit tough shots every now and then. But he brought out the extra sauce on the most important shot of the night. Dribbling relentlessly to create some space, Irving eventually drove to the left and launched a left-hand floater which gave his team a crucial 5-point lead.
