J.J. Barea · While it would take an extra period to settle the score, there was no way J.J. Barea was ending his career night without a victory. The gritty undrafted guard, who played 11 of his 14 NBA seasons across two stints with the Dallas Mavericks, had the ball in his hands in a tie game with time winding down in regulation against the Brooklyn Nets. Barea blew past his defender at the top of the key before burying a one-handed running floater while absorbing a foul by Brook Lopez to give Dallas a three-point lead with 12 seconds remaining. Brooklyn ultimately forced overtime but Barea in turn hit a clutch triple with 2:04 left to help deliver the Mavs a 119-118 win on December 23, 2015. The 2011 NBA champion posted a career-high 32 points on 13 of 21 shooting, while also mixing in 11 assists and five treys. · State of Mint
