Late in the second quarter of Brooklyn's 118-112 road defeat of the Detroit Pistons last week, Claxton denied Kevin Knox at the rim then decided to initiate the fast break himself, creating an advantage for his team with a pair of explosive breakout dribbles accompanied by long strides.
Seconds later, Claxton found Spencer Dinwiddie at halfcourt then sprinted straight to the rim - the best way to take advantage of the Pistons' mediocre transition containment. Alec Burks and Ausar Thompson were the last line of defense for Detroit and Claxton had a considerable height advantage over both.
