Spencer Dinwiddie was having a quiet night late in the third quarter when he drew a seemingly harmless foul on a 3-point shot.
Then he wasn’t.
The old adage that sometimes a player just needs to see the ball go through the basket to get going rang true on this night.
Dinwiddie proceeded to massacre the Detroit Pistons from that point forward, scoring 25 points over the final 17 minutes of regulation and five minutes of overtime, leading the Nets to 120-119 victory on Wednesday night.
The Pistons will truly be kicking themselves over this loss, wasting a combined 70 points from their big three, and blowing a late seven-point lead with three minutes left in the fourth quarter.
