Dinwiddie’s best two performances so far on the Mavericks’ unexpected ride to the Western Conference finals came in their closeout victories that finished off a first-round series against Utah (19 points and 4 3-pointers in Game 6 on the road after shooting 6-for-27 from deep in the first five games) and Game 7 again on the road in the second round against 64-win Phoenix (30 points on 11-for-15 shooting). The eruptions were particularly timely for Dinwiddie because they clinched separate bonuses in his contract worth $100,000 and $571,427 — one for helping his team reach the second round and the other because Dallas made it to the conference finals.
