NBA superstar LeBron James may have been the scoring leader for the Cleveland Cavaliers after the first quarter of yesterday's playoff game against the Indiana Pacers, but it was JR Smith who got all the attention once the quarter ended.
As time expired, Smith nailed a buzzer-beater from the three-point line - except it was the arch on the opposite side of the court from his basket.
The Cavaliers were already leading 27-24 when Smith caught the inbound pass and after quickly swinging to the left side of the court, threw up a shot from 22m away.
While Smith was a little lucky to drain that shot, it seemed to take a little bit out of him. In the second quarter, Smith went 0-for-3 from the floor, missing three shots from beyond the arc.
The Cavaliers went on to win the game 104-100, evening the best-of-seven series 2-2 in the process.
