Nic Claxton’s layup beat the buzzer — and beat the 76ers, 105-103, on Saturday night time in a play he known as one of many highlights of his profession. The Nets middle put again a Keon Johnson miss, an acrobatic shot that simply barely beat the clock and subsequently noticed him “mobbed” by Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and the remainder of the Nets earlier than a surprised sellout crowd of 20,431. “Initially, I didn’t even know that I did beat the buzzer, so I used to be simply attempting to course of every thing, and I used to be simply trying within the crowd, simply trying round. And I used to be like, ‘I believe it was good.’ And everyone got here and simply mobbed me. It was a terrific feeling, a terrific feeling,” stated Claxton. “It’s positively prime three [moments of my career]. All of the years I’ve been hooping, it’s positively three or two.” -via New York Submit / February 23, 2025
