Dallas Mavericks defeat Nets on Spencer Dinwiddie buzzer-beater after Luka Doncic nets 37

Doncic was locked in on Wednesday night in Brooklyn. He had the step back on full display, but fans saw plenty of craft from the 23-year-old superstar too. Below is a beautiful finish from Luka through contact.

Number 77 finished with 37 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, two steals, and one block in 39 minutes of action against the Nets. He made 14 of his 26 field goals, including sinking five 3-pointers and all four of his free throws at the Barclays Center.

Spencer Dinwiddie took over the fourth quarter against his former team. The 6’5 guard had just seven points in the first three periods before exploding for 15 in the final frame.

KD finished with 23 points as the Nets shot 49.5 percent from the field, but it was not enough as the Mavs grabbed the victory.
