Regarding Luka's winning shot, here is the reaction of Luka,

I guess everyone of us here have the same reaction. I can't believed that he did it against Jokic with his left arm. That is crazy, Jokic's almost got a block, few cm and he could at least touch it to change the shot. Probably one of the best buzzer beater that we have seen in years. And if there is a best game winner of the year award, this could be it and I think everyone would agree.
You mean Kyrie Irving's winning shot. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RpATvB4duO8

That was one heck of a shot and he is using his left hand, the weak one. If I was his teammate, I might react the same as Luka did. I mean, that was one incredible shot, the finisher, we only see those magic shots to either Luka or Jokic.
How I wish there was time left after the shot, Jokic might also make some magic if he was given more time.
I bet for the Nuggets on that game so I was okay to let it go to overtime because I needed -3.5 to win my bet. I was shocked in disbelief, it's not every day you will see this kind of thing, so it was damn great.
Mavs was not shooting well behind the three-point line in that game. But they are lucky they are still in a close game against the Nuggets. The offensive rebounds and the 2nd chance opportunities did help them to stay close and better, win it. I might watch the game one more time.
Well they had a 13 point lead in the 4th before letting the Nuggets come back into it and take the lead back in the final minute. In other words, Dallas didn't keep it close, Denver did.
But yeah, the shot by Kyrie was special, the whole play was pretty nice. Unlucky for Denver that the Joker was on Kyrie, obviously he is too slow and can't really contest. If Gordon would have picked him up maybe he could challenge the shot. But of course it's always hard to challenge a hook shot, especially when it's a running hook shot.
Nice shot but still a mix of luck and skill.
