Click image to watch Dion Waiters buzzer-beater against the Detroit Pistons.
While most of the NBA community was locked into the Pacers and Heat battle last night, Dion Waiters of the Cleveland Cavaliers was doing Dion Waiters things last night too. After a furious 4th quarter comeback from down 16 points, the Cavs found themselves down one with three seconds on the clock and awaiting an inbound play. Off of that play, the Cavs got it into Waiters on the wing and he calmly adjusted himself before launching a shot that smoothly swished through the basket as time expired.
This game was sort of significant in the East playoff race, simply because the Hawks lost again and the Cavs somehow still remain only three games back. The Knicks were also able to notch a victory last night, as they continue to try and fight to get into the eight seed. With teams only having around ten games left in the regular season, the final stretch in both conferences is sure to be exciting.
