Spencer Dinwiddie wanted revenge on the Brooklyn Nets.
Well, the Dallas Mavericks point guard did just that on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center. Dinwiddie finished the game with 22 points on 6-of-14 from the field, but none bigger than the buzzer-beater.
Dinwiddie left the Nets via a sign-and-trade with the Washington Wizards, and then quickly fell out of favor with the Wizards and was traded to Dallas.
The Barclays Center was stunned, and Dinwiddie’s time in Dallas continues to be a success next to Luka Doncic.
Here is the shot that gave Dallas the victory on Wednesday night, giving the Mavs a 113-111 win:

Dinwiddie has played just 11 games for Dallas but is averaging 17.5 points since coming over, including 36 points against the Sacramento Kings at the beginning of March.
Dallas has gone 8-2 in the last 10 games, and the Dinwiddie-Doncic pairing has become a breath of fresh air for the Mavericks. In fact, it has been a night and day transition from Washington D.C. to Dallas.
