The Brooklyn Nets hosted the New York Knicks at Barclays Center on Thursday in a tightly contested matchup. During the game, a flashy pass from Spencer Dinwiddie was finished off by DeAndre Jordan for a one-handed dunk.
The play was created by Dinwiddie exploiting Taj Gibson ball watching in pick-and-roll coverage. After engaging in deep drop coverage, he was no longer in position to stop Jordan from throwing down a dunk. He was simply allowed to build too much momentum going towards the basket.

This type of play is one of the many examples of Dinwiddie's brilliance this season. He was averaging a phenomenal 22.7 points and 6.2 assists prior to the start of the Nets' matchup with their fellow New York arch-rivals. With Kyrie Irving sidelined, Dinwiddie has done just about anything Brooklyn could want to continue to lead the team.
