NEW YORK — Every fan in attendance at Barclays Center rose to their feet for the most pivotal possession in Thursday’s encore matchup between the Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers: Game on the line, single-possession game, who takes the last shot?
This time it was Spencer Dinwiddie, who sized up his man with a flurry of crossovers before driving the lane for a high-arching layup that should have been the nail in the coffin.
Plot twist: It wasn’t — the embodiment of the all the struggles the Nets face now with no stars left to bail out Brooklyn down the stretch of tight games.
