Brooklyn Nets: Kenny Atkinson needs Spencer Dinwiddie to play better
The Brooklyn Nets are eyeing a playoff spot, but Kenny Atkinson needs Spencer Dinwiddie to play better to make their playoff hopes a reality.
The Brooklyn Nets have found their footing after suffering through an eight-game losing streak earlier this season. Head coach Kenny Atkinson’s squad has won 13 of their last 18 and moved into the playoff picture.
But over their last eight games, Spencer Dinwiddie is struggling mightily. Brooklyn’s sixth man is averaging 11.3 points over that span, but he’s only shooting 35 percent from the floor and 30 percent from three-point range.
Atkinson knows the Nets need Dinwiddie to play better to keep their playoff hopes alive.
