The last few minutes of an NBA game are always nerve-wracking, especially when the teams are neck-to-neck. Adrenaline courses through not just the players’ but the fans’ veins as they wait for the outcome with bated breath. The recent Brooklyn Nets‘ game against the New Orleans Pelicans brought out a similar reaction from the fans. The game was a treat to watch, especially for Nets fans, as they witnessed their star?Kyrie Irving crushing his opponents in the last few seconds of the game.

The Brooklyn Nets have been on a smooth run lately, losing just one game out of the 11 played in the past month. Perched in third place on the Eastern Conference table, the Nets are one of the top contenders this season.

Kyrie Irving astonishes NBA fans

The Brooklyn Nets’ winning streak was broken when the Chicago Bulls defeated the Nets on Wednesday night. However, it seems like the Nets are raring to get back on track as they defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 108-102 in the Friday night game. The Nets were leading by three points in the fourth quarter when Kyrie Irving made a successful three-pointer with just about 43 seconds remaining on the clock. This gave the Nets a six-point lead against the Pelicans, who lost their fifth home game against the Nets.

The 2016 NBA champion seemingly impressed fans with his performance while being in a clutch. Shortly after Irving helped the Nets make the six-point lead, fans took to Twitter to praise the 7x NBA All-Star.
