Behind a stat-sheet stuffing 32-points, 11-assists, 5-rebounds, 2-steals, and 2-blocks, Spencer Dinwiddie masterfully out-dueled All-Star Kemba Walker and the Boston Celtics on Black Friday in Brooklyn, leading the Nets to their sixth victory in their last eight games.
Being successful in the lead role has become commonplace for Dinwiddie as of late. While Kyrie Irving has missed the last eight games for Brooklyn, Dinwiddie has stepped up, amassing averages of 24.5-points, 7.8-assists, 3.0 rebounds on 42/34/93 shooting splits. He has been magnificent, even being rewarded with the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week last Monday, culminating the day (his father’s birthday) with a game-winning jumper in Cleveland.
