Brooklyn Nets: Top 10 moments from 2017-18 NBA season

2. Spencer Dinwiddie forgets how to miss

Games against one’s former team will always ignite him, but expecting this would’ve been egregious. Dinwiddie took “revenge game” to the highest of levels on this night.

Dinwiddie, knowing full-well what egregious means as an intellectual, took this revenge game to a new level. The last three minutes were the Dinwiddie show against the team that drafted him, the Detroit Pistons, and he did not disappoint.

Dinwiddie took full control against Detroit, knocking down shot after shot in the last four minutes. Getting production like this from a player filling in for Russell was a huge bonus, as not many expected much from a former NBA nomad. Though like many other labels Dinwiddie has incurred in his career, he debunked this one in its entirety, proving that he is more than a stopgap.

Dinwiddie finished with 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting, plus five assists, four rebounds and the game-winning basket with 0.9 seconds left.

Against a team that was in the playoff picture at the time, this heroic performance was even more appreciable. And thus, combined with his Mamba Mentality game against Minnesota, WINwiddie was born. This was not his only game-winning performance, but it was certainly his best.
