In the NBA playoffs on April 26, the Nets, 0-3 behind, played the Celtics at home, and Clarkston became the focus of attention due to the poor performance on the free throw end, losing 10 consecutive free throws and setting a new NBA playoff record.
In the first half, Clarkston took seven free throws and didn't hit a single one. With just over 9 minutes left in the third quarter, Clarkston made a foul on a layup and took two free throws.
At this time, the subtitles came out, and the NBA's record of consecutive free throws in the playoffs was 8 consecutive free throws in 2006.
As a result, Clarkston did not live up to the "trust" of the subtitles, missing two consecutive shots and losing 9 penalties, setting a new NBA playoff penalty loss record.
With 6 minutes and 17 seconds left in the third quarter, Pregart fouled Clarkston directly, sent him to the free throw line, missed the first free throw, and lost 10 consecutive free throws. On the second free throw, the home fans erupted in cheers.
For Nash, there is really no one to use, because the nets who are strong and weak, in order to win, need to make a difference on the defensive end, and it is obvious that except for Clarkston, Griffin and Ader, they may be blown up.
