The Cavaliers tied the game, 138-138, after Donovan Mitchell buried a fallaway three-pointer from the corner with only 0.4 seconds left in the game.
It seemed like destiny wanted Cleveland to win it, judging by Mitchell's miraculous shot. But Miami coach Erik Spoelstra drew up a genius after-timeout play, which set up Andrew Wiggins ' game-winning dunk off an alley-oop pass from Nikola Jovic.
The crowd went wild after the Heat pulled off the victory , 140-138, as the Cavaliers didn't know what hit them.
Hang that at the Louvre Museum! Just don't let burglars steal it.
Fans were in disbelief after the nail-biting finish between the conference rivals.
