Jared Dudley wasn’t the best player on the floor Tuesday night for the Brooklyn Nets. But when the chips were down and the Nets needed to close out a 115-110 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Dudley came up big.
The 33-year-old scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter with an array of layups and jump shots that helped Brooklyn to its sixth consecutive victory.
Dudley won’t dazzle with athleticism, but he was an assassin with the veteran know-how thing.
At one point, he stunned Laker defender Josh Hart with a fake at the 3-point line before driving down the wide open lane for a rim-rocking slam dunk nice fundamental layup.
