Watch: Kyrie buries game-winning pull-up 3 over Beal in OT

Something about being on the right wing in the final minute of a tie game with a defender right in his face does strange, diabolical things to Kyrie Irving.

With 35 seconds left in overtime Monday of a wild game against the Washington Wizards, with LeBron James fouled out and the score tied at 133, the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard produced a virtual carbon copy of his championship-winning 3-ball over Steph Curry from last June, pulling up and dropping a tiebreaking triple right in Bradley Beal's eye.

It would hold up as the game-winner, as the Cavs - who needed a miracle just to get to overtime - escaped with a 140-135 victory.

Irving shot just 8-of-24 for the game, but he has a habit of making them when they count most.
