Spencer Dinwiddie hit not one, but two clutch shots to help the Brooklyn Nets beat the Detroit Pistons 120-119 Monday night.

The Pistons had led for most of the second half, but the Nets clawed their way back with less than two minutes to go. Brooklyn still trailed by three points with 21 second left in the fourth quarter and that’s when Dinwiddie stepped in.

The point guard took the inbound pass and drained the game-tying 3-pointer:

That wasn’t the end of the story though. Dinwiddie again stepped up with another big 3, this time with just seven seconds remaining to put the Nets in front. He hit the game-winner to end Brooklyn’s three-game losing streak:

He finished the game 5 of 9 from three and 8 of 15 from the floor. But those were easily his two biggest shots of the game.
