Twenty years from now, people may dissect this Travis Kelce tweet, too.
On Tuesday night, the Kansas City Chiefs star voiced his support for the Cleveland Cavaliers after they beat the Dallas Mavericks, 121—119, with a miraculous buzzer beater from beyond half court.
Kelce, a proud Cleveland-area native, engaged in some good-natured banter with teammate Patrick Mahomes, who hails from north Texas and is a well-known fan of the Mavericks.
Mahomes tagged Kelce in a tweet expressing his disbelief at how the Cavaliers pulled off the win. Kelce responded, “Straight cash!!! Them boys got the juice right now!! @cavs”
Cavaliers’ Max Strus sank the game-winning 60-foot shot and scored 15 of his 21 points in the final quarter, which included going 5-for-5 on three-pointers in the last four minutes as Cleveland overcame a 10-point deficit.
Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen also helped secure the victory, scoring 31 points and 19 points, respectively.
After Tuesday’s jaw-dropping thriller, Cleveland (38—19) improved to 7—3 in its past 10 games; the Cavaliers currently sit in second place in the Eastern Conference. The Mavericks (33—25) dropped their second game in a row and sit in eighth place in the Western Conference.
