Paul George scored 15 points with three steals and seven rebounds on Saturday night. But it's the rebound he didn't grab as time expired that cost the Philadelphia 76ers in a 105-103 defeat to the Brooklyn Nets.

Nic Claxton scored 16 points and tipped in the winner as time expired, Cam Johnson had 23 points and the Brooklyn Nets edged the Philadelphia 76ers 105-103.

Nets center Nic Claxton’s putback layup just beat the buzzer — and beat the 76ers, 105-103, on Saturday night.

The Nets rival the Sixers when it comes to dealing with injuries. Cam Thomas (strained left hamstring), De’Angelo Russell (sprained right ankle), Noah Clowney (sprained left ankle) and former Sixer De’Anthony Melton (left knee ACL tear) were sidelined.

George was out-hustled for the rebound, failing to jump or even raise his arms in pursuit of the ball. The lack of effort cost the Sixers a potential win and dropped their record to 20-26, the fourth-worst in the Eastern Conference.
