In the penultimate game of the 2017-18 season for the Brooklyn Nets, everything came together for guard Allen Crabbe.
On his 26th birthday, Crabbe gave fans at Barclays Center a tremendous gift — a career night in which he scored a career-high 41 points on just 15 shots, going 12-for-15 overall, hitting a sizzling 8-for-11 from 3-point range and making all nine of his foul shot attempts.
Crabbe added five rebounds and four assists in Brooklyn’s 114-105 win over the Chicago Bulls, giving everyone at least a glimpse of the potential Nets general manager Sean Marks saw when he signed Crabbe, then a restricted free agent, to a four-year, $75 million offer sheet.
