What are the longest buzzer-beating game-winners in NBA history?
Max Strus’ shot is in the record books.
The Cleveland Cavaliers guard drilled a game-winner to beat the Dallas Mavericks 121-119, with the shot coming from beyond halfcourt.
It capped a night for the 27-year-old that saw him score 21 points while hitting 7 of 10 shots from deep in 26 minutes.
The last bucket, of course, was the most satisfying. It went down in the records as a 59-foot shot, but is the make the longest in that situation?
Let’s look at the five longest buzzer-beating game-winners in NBA history in the 3-point era, via ESPN Stats & Info:
5. 50 feet – Tyreke Evans vs. Memphis Grizzlies, 2010
Down 98-97, Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans hit an off-balance 50-foot shot at home to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 100-98.
4. 53 feet – Julius Erving at Dallas Mavericks, 1986
Throwing it back to 1986, Philadelphia 76ers legend Julius Erving hit a 53-foot shot with under two seconds to beat the Mavericks.
3. 55 feet – Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf at Los Angeles Clippers, 1992
About six years after Irving’s then-record-setting bucket, Denver Nuggets’ Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf helped beat the Los Angeles Clippers on the road with a 55-foot game-winner.
2. 59 feet – Max Strus vs. Dallas Mavericks, 2024
Strus’ 59-foot game-winner falls a couple of feet short of the top spot on this list.
1. 61 feet – Devonte’ Graham at Oklahoma City Thunder, 2021
The top spot belongs to former New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte’ Graham, who drilled a shot from 61 feet out (1.4 seconds left) to beat the Thunder on the road. It came right after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit a ridiculous off-balance 3-pointer to tie the game at 110.

Rangers capitalize on costly Guardians mistake, extend winning streak to six
Jacob deGrom pitched seven strong innings and the Texas Rangers took advantage of a bone-headed play by Cleveland rookie outfielder Cooper Ingle on Tuesday night to beat the Guardians 4-2 and extend their winning streak to six games.
DeGrom (7-5) allowed a two-run homer to Kyle Manzardo in the first before turning dominant. The right-hander gave up a leadoff single in the second before retiring 18 of the next 19 batters, improving to 4-0 in June.
Joc Pederson hit a two-run homer and Josh Jung added a solo shot as the AL West-leading Rangers improved to 7-2 on their road trip.
They got a big assist in the seventh inning when Ingle, making just his second major league start in the outfield, lost track of the number of outs and tossed a live ball into the stands, allowing the Rangers to take a 3-2 lead.
With a runner at second and one out, Ingle caught a routine fly ball hit by Rangers left fielder Alejandro Osuna for the second out. Thinking it was the third out, Ingle looked at the ball in his glove before throwing it over the protective netting to fans.
The umpires immediately ruled the ball was dead, and Ezequiel Duran was awarded home plate.
Pederson connected for his 14th homer — and 11th since May 26 — off Tanner Bibee (2-9) to tie it 2-all in the third.
Jung’s ninth homer made it 4-2 in the eighth.
Manzardo gave the Guardians a 2-0 lead in the first with his 10th homer.
Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was pulled before his at-bat in the first inning because of back discomfort. The five-time All-Star missed 19 games earlier this season with back spasms.

No idling: Why it’s against the law in Cleveland
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Department of Public Health is educating drivers about a law many may not know about: the city’s ban on idling.
Under city law, idling is any time a driver sits in their car without a destination or purpose. The law prohibits idling for more than five minutes, or else drivers could be fined. There are limited exemptions to the law, including weather conditions and some vehicle types.
The health department said idling is illegal because of the effects our cars’ emissions have on the environment and our health. The health department said one minute of idling produces more carbon monoxide emissions than smoking three packs of cigarettes.
When we run our cars, tiny particles are emitted from the exhaust, and, according to the health department, they can enter our lungs and contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
Christina Yoka, chief of air pollution outreach with the Cleveland Department of Public Health, said the solution starts with thinking about your daily routine.
“From the time you leave your home for work in the morning, think about the time you get in the car,” she said. “Do you stop and get coffee, and you’re in the drive-thru? Do you look at your phone while you’re waiting to put something in your GPS and checking text messages?”
Yoka said a new anti-idling campaign is underway to remind Cleveland drivers and employees about the law. Signs will be placed in city parking lots and garages.
“There are all these moments throughout the day that we’re in our cars and we think, ‘Oh! It’s just two to three minutes, but then add that up over the course of the day,” she said.
Yoka said idling is never a good idea, but warmer temperatures like we’re seeing this week make pollution even worse. She recommends windshield covers, cracking your car windows and parking in the shade to keep cool.
