Dinwiddie, Nets edge Pistons in OT

-

NEW YORK — Spencer Dinwiddie made a 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left in overtime and finished with 25 points to help the Brooklyn Nets beat the Detroit Pistons 120-119 on Wednesday night.

Joe Harris added 23 points, Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen had 19 each, and Jared Dudley finished with 11. The Nets snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 3-5.

Blake Griffin led Detroit with 25 points, Andre Drummond had 24 points and 23 rebounds, and Reggie Jackson scored 21 points.

After Dinwiddie’s late 3-poiter, Griffin missed a fadeaway. The Pistons have dropped two straight to fall to 4-3.

The Nets trailed by as much as 10 in the third quarter, and entered the fourth down 83-77. Brooklyn outscored Detroit 33-27 in the fourth, with Dinwiddie hitting a 3-pointer with 32 seconds left to force overtime.

PACERS 107, KNICKS 101: Domantas Sabonis matched his career high with 30 points and Victor Oladipo scored 24 points for Indiana.

Indiana trailed 97-94 with 3:08 left before Oladipo got hot. Sabonis hit two free throws, and then Oladipo picked off Tim Hardaway Jr.’s lazy dribble and threw down a breakaway dunk for a 98-97 lead. Indiana scored the next five points, capped by Oladipo’s 3-pointer with 1:23 left, to make it 103-97.

Hardaway led the Knicks with 37 points, and Noah Vonleh had 14 points and 10 rebounds. New York has lost six of seven since winning on opening night.

Alonzo Trier’s basket cut New York’s deficit to 103-101 with 44 seconds left, but Thaddeus Young found Oladipo open in front of the Knicks bench for a 3-pointer.
