The Dallas Mavericks are feeling terrific after an impressive win on Thursday night against the Utah Jazz. In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Mavericks jumped out to a 2-1 series lead, and Luka Doncic hasn’t even seen the court in the series.
Jalen Brunson has been electric for the Mavs and is channeling his improbable run from his Villanova days. But, on Thursday, it was former Colorado Buffaloes star Spencer Dinwiddie who had the highlight of the night.
The Mavs’ trade deadline acquisition left the Utah fans stunned with a massive poster dunk over Rudy Gobert.
If you haven’t seen it, get ready to watch this over and over again.
Ok @SDinwiddie_25 ‼️🤯

Yeah, Dinwiddie did that on the former NBA Defensive Player of the Year and didn’t think twice.
He finished the game with 20 points, although he shot just 6-of-21 from the field. Nonetheless, the Mavs got the victory, and Dinwiddie’s dunk is easily one that everybody will be watching on repeat for quite some time.
When, or if, Dallas gets Doncic back, things will look even better for the Mavs, and the Jazz might not have a chance to come back.
Game 4 is Saturday night in Utah.
