Brooklyn Nets small forward Mikal Bridges emphasized helping Nic Claxton by defending/rebounding as a team after Monday’s 125-108 road loss vs. the Utah Jazz (1-4 road trip).

(via YES Network):

Meghan Triplett: “Rebounding has been a main point of emphasis on this road trip. In what ways have you seen you guys not be able to kind of crash the boards and take advantage of it?”

Bridges: “I think it helps even on defense. We’re not playing defense; and Clax’s stepping up, we’re not helping him. Me personally, I didn’t do anything, especially rebounding. So we’ve just got to help him out and help each other out, and we’ve got to rebound together.”
