Nic Claxton · Claxton arrived at the arena this night on a mission. The Brooklyn big man etched his name in franchise lore by drilling just the 11th triple of his career while erupting for a career-high 28 points against Chicago. With 10:15 remaining in the third quarter and the Nets holding a comfortable 71-59 lead, Claxton spotted up from 25 feet and confidently knocked down the long-range bomb with an assist from Terance Mann.
