The Brooklyn Nets have been struggling since trading Kevin Durant, with a 1-4 record in their last five games. According to Spencer Dinwiddie, the team is feeling the absence of their star players, especially in the crucial moments of the fourth quarter.
In their Sunday loss to the Atlanta Hawks, Dinwiddie pointed out the numerous 50-50 calls that went against the Nets in the final minutes of the game. He believes that without superstars, the team is not getting the same treatment from referees. For instance, when Dinwiddie got fouled and said “and one“, he was hit with a technical foul. On the other hand, Trae Young made several free throws, including some on his rip-through move.
Dinwiddie expressed his frustration, stating that superstars are allowed to “cuss them out” and get away with it, while the rest of the team cannot. He believes that it is the lead-up to a last-second shot that is the tough part without superstars.
Trae Young’s buzzer-beater wins the game for Hawks
Despite the Nets’ struggle, Trae Young came through for the Atlanta Hawks, hitting a game-winning buzzer-beater to defeat the Nets on Sunday. Young finished the game with 36 points and 9 assists, and made several key free throws down the stretch.
Young’s buzzer-beater was the culmination of a back-and-forth game that saw both teams battle for the lead. The Nets were up by two points with 12 seconds left, but Young drove to the basket and hit a floater over two defenders to tie the game.
After a timeout, the Nets had one last chance to win the game, but Dinwiddie was unable to hit the game-winner over Young. Despite Dinwiddie’s frustration with the referees, the Nets were unable to overcome Young’s clutch performance.
The win was a much-needed one for the Hawks, who have been struggling this season. It was also a reminder of Young’s talent and ability to take over a game in the final minutes. Meanwhile, the Nets will need to regroup and find a way to win without their star players.
