NBA Note - Brooklyn Nets Dinwiddie, Spencer
Nov 18, 2017 - 9:03 AM G Spencer Dinwiddie had a career-high 25 points and eight assists as the Brooklyn Nets beat the Utah Jazz 118-107 Friday night. Dinwiddie made his third start of the season (fourth of his career) in place of D'Angelo Russell, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery earlier in the day. His first start in place of Brooklyn's leading scorer was a 22-point showing in a 112-107 win over Cleveland on Oct. 25, and his next start was a 12-point outing in Tuesday's loss to Boston when Russell was still considered day to day. The 24-year-old, who signed with the Nets on Dec. 8, made 9 of 14 shots, including 6 of 10 3-pointers. He also grabbed five rebounds and was a plus-nine in 31:29 in a game where the Nets led for the final 41:04. "I didn't do anything different because of the surgery," Dinwiddie said. "I would like to think that we won for him, though, because our heart goes out to him. He is our teammate and our brother. We feel for him in this time."No one has shouted yet.
