NBA roundup: Spencer Dinwiddie and the Nets spoil LeBron James’ first triple-double of the season

Spencer Dinwiddie made a go-ahead three-point basket with 43 seconds left and the host Brooklyn Nets overcame LeBron James’ first triple-double this season to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 112-107 on Wednesday night.

James had 29 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds in his 56th triple-double, but he missed two free throws — the second intentionally — with the Cavaliers trailing by two points with 7.6 seconds remaining. DeMarre Carroll made a free throw and the Cavaliers’ long inbounds pass intended for James went out of bounds.

Dinwiddie scored 22 points, and teammates Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Allen Crabbe had 19 points apiece, and Carroll scored 18.

The Nets, who blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, fell shy of becoming the first NBA team in 32 years to open a season with five consecutive 115-point games.
