“I look at myself in the mirror. I’m supposed to be one of the better defensive players on the team,” said Claxton before Friday night’s win in Philly. “I had a few mental lapses last game (a 127-104 season-opening loss to the Bucks). My fatigue, it showed too much. I think that definitely starts with me. I need to be better on the defensive end and we’re going to get better. It’s only one game.”
