Irving hit a three-pointer from the corner to cut the deficit to three with 30 seconds left, then sent the game to overtime with another three-pointer at the buzzer. Irving kept it up in overtime and Cleveland came away with an incredible 128-125 victory.
The final numbers: 57 points on 20-for-32 shooting from the field, 7-of-7 from the three-point line and 10-of-10 on foul shots.
