To a man, the Nets say Nic Claxton has been their best defender — and one they can’t replace or do without.
The Nets will ride a season-high six-game winning streak into Wednesday’s tilt versus defending champion Golden State. A surprisingly stout defense has been the key, and Claxton is the one player they can’t replicate on that end of the court.
Brooklyn’s net rating of plus-5.8 with Claxton on the court falls to minus-2.0 with him off. That plus-7.8 gap is by far the best of any Nets rotation player. “Yeah, for sure. That’s always been a goal of mine,” Claxton told The Post. “I take a lot of pride in defense. My numbers will speak for itself; the eye test, everything, it’ll be there, so I just continue to stay solid. That’s definitely one of my goals.
