With a lottery team in the building and a make-or-break road trip looming, the Nets had to have a win Wednesday. And with the game hanging in the balance, Spencer Dinwiddie reached out and seized it.
Dinwiddie took over in the final minutes of a contest that was far too close for comfort, steering Brooklyn to a 113-107 victory over the Cavaliers.
With the Nets having blown a 16-point cushion and clinging to a 96-94 lead with 7:20 left, Dinwiddie (game-high 28 points, five assists, four rebounds) sparked a game-changing 14-0 run.
