Jeff Dowtin Jr. · As 15.5-point home underdogs against the NBA’s No. 1 regular-season team, the Philadelphia 76ers likely knew that brainstorming would be required in finding ways to survive. Ironically enough, Jeff Dowtin Jr. and his fellow two-way teammates arrived with more than a few potential solutions. Eager to have a hand in Philadelphia’s third quarter comeback bid, Dowtin sprints the floor in transition, turning the Oklahoma City Thunder’s disorganized defense into a spot-on catch-and-shoot triple. Long known for his efficient bucket-getting résumé along the G League scene, Dowtin brought brilliance to the battle against one of the Association’s elites, turning in a double-digit scoring output in the third quarter alone. Oklahoma City’s firepower proved to be too much on January 14, 2025, but Dowtin, collecting a career-high in scoring, finished with 18 points (on 7-of-14 shooting), five rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and two trifectas. · State of Mint
