In the Christmas match against the LA Lakers, Nicolas Claxton provided a nice closure to the Nets’ performance. After James Harden and Patty Mills performed their best shots for the team, Claxton ended the tie-breaker with an alley-oop from Harden. LeBron James tried to catch the ball, but Claxton took it and made the basket.

The Brooklyn Nets won 122-115 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It was also a game that included a flagrant foul from Harden on Talen Horton-Tucker.

Despite the fact, that a lot of their players had to enter the league’s health and safety protocols owing to the current scenario, the Nets put up a splendid performance that saw them take the victory at the end of the day.

LeBron James made 39 points to pass Kobe’s record, but it wasn’t enough

Claxton’s contribution was worth remembering, as he scored from the pass, courtesy of James Harden while soaring high over LeBron James. It is a moment that has certainly grasped the attention of the audience.
