Thaddeus Young did his damnedest to will his Brooklyn Nets past the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, scoring a team-high 29 points (on 14-of-20 shooting), hauling in a game-high 10 rebounds (including six on the offensive glass), and ripping a game-high four steals.
He was impressive in nearly everything he did on the court, but never more so than when he ditched Mavs center Zaza Pachulia with a bamboozling inside-out dribble en route to a driving dunk on a crucial fourth-quarter possession.
Alas, Young's heroics weren't rewarded, as the Nets went on to lose in overtime.
