Spencer Dinwiddie is living his best life with the Dallas Mavericks – and he's repaid that in kind with some big-time performances in his new uniform.

The new Mavs guard just sank the game-winning triple off a drive and kick from Luka Doncic:

Dallas has gone 9-2 ever since they acquired the combo guard from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis, which is in large part due to a rejuvenated Spencer Dinwiddie balling out.

Dinwiddie spoke at length about what's changed since joining the Mavs, which was notably a veiled shot at the Wizards organization that traded him after signing him to a three-year deal just a few months back.

“You know, I've been in a lot of places in my career,” said the Mavs guard. “I've been in a lot of different situations. Your work environment can kind of be like dating sometimes, right. You want the person that wants you. Simple as that. At the end of the day, you want to be able to have peace in your environment. You want somebody to want you and let you be you. Obviously when it's coming top down, Cuban, Kidd, and Luka … if they inspire confidence and accept me, then I appreciate that will all my heart.”

Spencer Dinwiddie was vocal about feeling like an outsider within the Wizards organization before his move to Dallas. Slated to be the second star alongside Bradley Beal, things quickly turned sour on the court after a hot start to the season. That left his voice largely ignored as he was admittedly shunned off as a leader on the team.

But with the Mavericks, Spencer Dinwiddie has found new life. He's averaged just shy of 18 points per game in 11 contests with Dallas and has become a key figure in their closing lineups. Luka Doncic has been tied to a handful of point guards to run the show with him in the past, from Kyle Lowry to Chris Paul and even Slovenian national team comrade Goran Dragic. But it looks like Dinwiddie has fit that bill to the tee.
