Not many NBA teams boast a backup-guard tandem as versatile and talented as the one the Nets employed Monday night.
In coach Kenny Atkinson’s latest lineup configuration, Caris LeVert shifted to the second unit and teamed with Spencer Dinwiddie for the best game for each player since they returned last month from respective long-term injuries in their team’s needed 127-88 blowout win over Dallas at Barclays Center.
It is a combination Atkinson sounds likely to stick with at least Wednesday night against Cleveland in Brooklyn — with Allen Crabbe playing alongside All-Star D’Angelo Russell in the starting lineup — as the Nets seek to solidify their precarious hold on a playoff position in the Eastern Conference.
