The Nets lost both of their closers, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, three weeks ago. However, Spencer Dinwiddie, who has a reputation for hitting game-winning shots, is confident that he and his teammates, including Cam Thomas, can take on the role.
Dinwiddie claims to have the most game-winning shots in the league and trusts other players like Joe Harris, Cam Johnson, and Mikal Bridges to perform under pressure.
Despite missing the benefits of having star players on the team, Dinwiddie believes they can still make the last shot.
During his time in Brooklyn, Dinwiddie established himself as a clutch shooter, a reputation he maintained while in Dallas.
Dinwiddie’s six go-ahead baskets in the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime since 2017-18 are tied for the third-most in the league.
Several Nets players had productive All-Star breaks, including Dinwiddie, who went to Los Angeles to get organized, and Bridges, who flew back to Phoenix to pack his things, including his Labrador.
Nic Claxton went to the Virgin Islands to visit family and recharge his batteries, while Jacque Vaughn is looking to ease the burden on Claxton’s minutes going forward.
The Nets have seen a 37% increase in viewership since the Durant trade, averaging 92,000 total viewers in their three games on YES.
