Durant and the ReplaceNets pieced together one of their most impressive victories of the season in a 114-106 win over the Western Conference-power Jazz
The Nets have won six of seven and remain in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, a game up on the ninth-place Hornets.
The Nets were forced to sacrifice plenty of weight in sitting Drummond, but the mobile Claxton was everywhere Gobert was — and even threw down a transition dunk on the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.The Nets won the game in the third quarter, when they used a 20-10 run to create separation.

The 3-point specialist was down on the court for several moments late in the second quarter after slipping and apparently turning his left ankle. He stayed in the game briefly but was limping on defense before being pulled for the rest of the game.
