Dinwiddie does in Magic in fourth
Nets run past Orlando to improve to 2-1 in NBA Cup play
Spencer Dinwiddie shot the Nets right back into serious contention for a berth in the NBA Cup’s knockout rounds.
Having split its first two road contests in the league’s newly created In-Season Tournament, Brooklyn was desperate to climb back above .500 and remain in the hunt for the top spot in Eastern Conference Group C Tuesday night at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
Dinwiddie answered the call when it mattered most, scoring 12 of his season-high 29 points in the fourth quarter by nailing every shot he took as the Nets rallied for a 124-104 rout of the Orlando Magic in front of 17,361 satisfied customers on the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush.
