 a lot Chris unlike the last time these teams met there were stops down the stretch in the fourth quarter there was only 48 combined points the wizard scored 48 in the fourth the last meeting and Sarah not only do the Nets find a way to close this game against the Wizards and get a win bouncing back against Orlando's lost the other night but Kyrie Irving again showed the kind of closer he is didn't have a great game but he had great moments down the stretch when the Nets needed a most and I think when we look at Kyrie Irving in particular what he's done this season as a closer you could add James Harden of course in there the opportunity as well to elevate the play of their teammates and namely pointing to Nicholas Clark's now Steve Nash is starting to trust in the fourth quarter and in some of those closing minutes but I think it just the way of this team learning that it's not always gonna be pretty and they always can rely on their offense in many ways but defensively and for the Wizards who were scoring with ease and they were getting to go in and transition they were finding their way in the pain that Nets did a nice job of getting the timely spots stops when needed even though they weren't necessarily as effective from the offensive end and how they were scoring they understood that getting the job done as the defense event is just as critical when they found their ways to win now Nicholas Clark said you just mentioned closing again he's a plus six off the bench in this game the plus minus have been great for Claxton in his 11 games Sarah what do you think about Claxton getting more regular minutes with the starters whether or not he's starting or not but we see him on the floor with the starters of the end of games James Harden and Kyrie Irving make the game easier for everyone but I guarantee you they appreciate the activity and the availability that Nicholas Claxton brings around the rim off those pick and roll plays what he does defensively guarding one through five and how well he works in this switching scheme the rebounding the blocking and then run in the floor and it's just that energy the bounce that the Nets needed and we in particular saw that when the Nets got into an early hole he was part of that group making an impact but I think how he plays and his impact on the game is so much has been helped by the play of others because of where he finds his spots on the floor and he's a player that's just going to continue to improve because he's just getting started all right Sarah gonna give you a two for one here okay Blake Griffin debut impressions of that and looking ahead to what should be a really exciting trip back-to-back against Portland in Utah Blake Griffin we didn't know what to expect we are anxious to see how he would fit in and not so much by the numbers and I know we are all very excited about the dunk as was Blake and his teammates but overall just you could start to see flashes of how he's going to be able to be utilized within the course of this roster the combinations of him on the floor and how he could play that small ball five his strength his physicality and I think we'll continue to see his playmaking ability his shot making and how his IQ translates into what this group looks like and big trip coming up I mean quick to further the Nets to be on the road come back home and go again against a Portland team that has been playing phenomenal Utah of course coming off a loss against the Wizards but best record in the league so this is not an easy one though I think for the Nets it'll be good to see that type of competition get ready to stay up late this week fans for Nets on yes with back-to-back 10 p.m. games as we send it back to you in the studio Chris
