Rookies support Nic Claxton, Noah Clowney in Nets' 123-115 win over Bulls
"Behind forceful nights from Nic Claxton, who scored a career-high 28 points, and Noah Clowney, who added 22, and with three rookies taking full advantage of their minutes, the Nets found just enough offense to beat the Chicago Bulls 123-115 at Barclays Center. The win pushed Brooklyn to 15-37, gave it consecutive victories after a three-game skid and came on a night the team entered 0-6 without Démin."
"He poured in 12 of Brooklyn's 27 points in the opening quarter, knocking down four of his five shots and three of four from deep, a reminder of how impactful he can be on offense when the jumper is falling. Chicago answered, with Collin Sexton matching the 12-point outburst and getting enough help from Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey to grab a slim 31-27 edge."
Brooklyn beat Chicago 123-115 at Barclays Center, improving to 15-37 and earning consecutive wins after a three-game skid. Nic Claxton scored a career-high 28 points, dominating the rim and hitting a rare three-pointer, while Noah Clowney added 22 with early scoring and multiple made threes. Rookie Drake Powell provided timely offense and a momentum-shifting dunk over Patrick Williams. Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons kept the Bulls close, but Brooklyn's late second-quarter burst and productive minutes from three rookies supplied enough offense to secure the victory despite key absences.
