The incident, for which Watford was assessed two technical fouls and ejected, occurred with 4:48 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Pacers' 105-99 overtime victory over the Nets on March 20 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Which Nets are you watching who could potentially be a part of the core looking ahead? Dorian Finney-Smith: I still talk to pretty much everybody on that team. CT (Cam Thomas), of course, with his talent. Hopefully, he gets paid. I want him to get paid this summer. It’s well deserved. I want Day’Ron (Sharpe) to make his money as well. Trendon Watford is a guy I want to find his footing in the league and get a longer contract of two or three years.
Nic Claxton’s layup beat the buzzer — and beat the 76ers, 105-103, on Saturday night in a play he called one of the highlights of his career. The Nets center put back a Keon Johnson miss, an acrobatic shot that just barely beat the clock and subsequently saw him “mobbed” by Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and the rest of the Nets before a stunned sellout crowd of 20,431. “Originally, I didn’t even know that I did beat the buzzer, so I was just trying to process everything, and I was just looking in the crowd, just looking around. And I was like, ‘I think it was good.’ And everybody came and just mobbed me. It was a great feeling, a great feeling,” said Claxton. “It’s definitely top three [moments of my career]. All the years I’ve been hooping, it’s definitely three or two.”
Trendon Watford had 11 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter, logging 9:14 in the final period as the only Net with a positive plus-minus in the final stanza of a 105-103 win over the 76ers. “It’s time to win. I mean, Jordi [Fernandez] told me I was pretty much gonna finish the game. So, fourth quarter, it’s time to win. We all just knew we had to win that quarter to win the game,” Watford said. “Man, I’m so glad we ain’t have to go to overtime. Honestly, I ain’t know if I had it in me to play five more minutes, I ain’t gonna lie.”
