The Cavs’ triumph marks a remarkable turnaround, with Strus’ rapid-fire 3s entering the record books as the fourth-shortest time for a player to make four 3-pointers in a game. Strus’ game-winning shot from beyond the mid-court line also stands as the second-longest tracked game-winner in regular-season history since 1997-98. The thrilling victory underscores the Cavaliers’ resilience and ability to seize victory from the jaws of defeat.
