PHILADELPHIA — Nic Claxton’s layup beat the buzzer — and beat the 76ers, 105-103, on Saturday night in a play he called one of the highlights of his career.
The Nets center put back a Keon Johnson miss, an acrobatic sH๏τ that just barely beat the clock and subsequently saw him “mobbed” by Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and the rest of the Nets before a stunned sellout crowd of 20,431.
“Originally, I didn’t even know that I did beat the buzzer, so I was just trying to process everything, and I was just looking in the crowd, just looking around. And I was like, ‘I think it was good.’ And everybody came and just mobbed me. It was a great feeling, a great feeling,” said Claxton. “It’s definitely top three [moments of my career]. All the years I’ve been hooping, it’s definitely three or two.”
Nic Claxton shoots the game-winning, buzzer-beating putback to lead the Nets to a 105-103 win over the 76ers on Feb. 22, 2025.
It was a stark contrast, the sellout crowd having showered their Sixers with boos throughout the night and the Nets celebrating.
