The Wizards were all set to finish off a massive victory at home against the Cavaliers. And then, LeBron James did this:
LeBron James hits a game-tying turnaround 3 at the buzzer while falling out of bounds
And then Kyrie Irving finished the job in overtime.
That’s a banked three off the glass after a long pass from Kevin Love. Shades of Christian Laettner, but way, way better.
Yeah, we’re stunned, too.

It temporarily made up for this comedy of errors on the previous possession.
With the Cavaliers down one, James strolled in after a nice move on John Wall, took an obvious third step that went uncalled and blew the layup. Wall then hit two free throws, and that should have been it. But then James atoned for his mistake in the most incredible way.
And then Kyrie Irving finished the job.
It looked like Cleveland was in trouble once LeBron fouled out early in overtime, but then Kyrie Irving took the baton. This shot looks familiar, Warriors fans. Doesn’t it?
Bradley Beal missed a game-tying 3, and the Cavaliers came away with the 140-135 win. What. A. Game.
