Everybody is talking about former Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving after yesterday’s 112-107 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. But why aren’t we talking about Spencer Dinwiddie?
While Irving was seated in his Barclays Center padded folding chair, the former G-Leaguer-turned-quasi-All-Star led the Nets to their sixth win in the eight games since Irving went down due to a shoulder impingement. 32 points, 11 assists and five rebounds is a stat-line that would be standout for any player in the NBA–let alone the Boston Celtics roster.
And by the way, doing it against a Celtics defense that ranks fourth in points per game allowed, makes the achievement all the more laudable.
