Nic Claxton

One of the NBA’s most efficient shooters didn’t miss at all while continuing to serve as one of its premier defenders — such is life for Nic Claxton. The Brooklyn Nets center helped keep the Big Apple rivalry one-sided as he tracked Miles McBride’s drive to the basket and snuffed out his dunk attempt with a ferocious one-handed rejection. Claxton made all six of his shots for 13 points and added 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks in his squad’s 122-115 win on January 28, 2023, Brooklyn’s ninth consecutive victory over the New York Knicks.
