How? JR Smith drains insane buzzer-beater from other three-point line


With the Cleveland Cavaliers up three in the closing seconds of the first quarter of Game 4 of their first-round series with the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night, JR Smith did as JR Smith does, draining a buzzer-beater from the other three-point line to put the Cavs up by six.

He hit the shot off of one foot, over the outstretched arms of Bojan Bogdanovic, to cap off a nine-point first quarter. He was greeted at the Cavs bench with high-fives from his teammates, who showed up to the game wearing matching suits — again.

If only his potential game-winning heave at the end of Cleveland's Game 3 loss was as on-target as this one.

The Cavs went on to win the game, 104-100, to tie the series at two games apiece.
