The Nets did not disappoint in a huge 106-105 win over a talented Pacers squad. After a big loss to the Raptors by one point the Nets went on the road to take on the Pacers. The game was going very similar to how it went against the Raptors where the Nets had a lead and failed to keep it. In the third quarter they held on to an 8 point lead that quickly went to a 3 point deficit entering the fourth. The fourth was a ton of back and forth action with many lead changes. With 26 seconds left Joe Harris hit a three pointer to put the Nets up by one point, but Domantas Sabonis had other plans putting in a layup to give the Pacers a one point lead with 9.9 second left. The Nets were looking like they were going to lose their second straight by one point, but Spencer Dinwiddie refused to go down without a fight.
Dinwiddie had the hot hand and got the call to attempt the game winner, and he did not disappoint nailing a elbow jumper. The Nets then forced a miss from Malcolm Brogdon and picked up a huge one point win. Dinwiddie ended the game with 21 points, with 12 points coming in the fourth quarter. He hit 13 of 15 at the free throw line, 4 of 15 from the field to go along with 11 assists and 6 rebounds. This would now be Dinwiddie’s seventh double-double of the season, tying his career high double-doubles in a season.
The Brooklyn Nets will be hosting the Toronto Raptors on February 13 at 7:30 p.m. eastern time. This will prove to be a hefty task for the Nets, with the Raptors continuing a 15 game win streak.
