Claxton finished with 17 points (5-6 FG, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 124-119 loss to the Spurs.
Claxton showed some nice hustle while he was out there, running the floor and making his presence felt at the rim, and led the second unit in scoring. It should only be a matter of time before he works his way into the starting unit, and the 27-year-old center looks primed for a bounce-back year with Chicago.
