Claxton has his backers and he played well in this game — 19 points, eight rebounds and five assists — but the Nets are an undersized team and opponents are going to try and be physical, bullying them for the rest of the season and into the playoffs. It just didn’t work for Antetokounmpo and the shorthanded Bucks on Friday (no Khris Middleton).
What we need is a Bucks vs. Nets playoff series again. Basketball gods, that’s what we all want for Christmas this year.
