The Nets connected on just 7 of 40 from 3-point range and committed 19 turnovers.
The Nets have overcome a slew of injuries to key players to win just enough games to remain around the lottery cut-off this season, but they couldn’t overcome a dreadful outside shooting performance Saturday night.
Clowney, who missed several games recently with an ankle injury, notably hobbled off the court in the closing minutes. “Next man up,” Clowney said before Saturday’s game. “Made some mistakes…But I feel like it went well. I didn’t make shots like I wanted to, but we still got the win, so I don’t really care.”Nets GM Sean Marks already dealt away guard Dennis Schroder last week, and players such as Johnson and Finney-Smith also could be moved before the Feb.6 trade deadline to free up even more playing time for younger players.
The Jazz used a 9-0 spurt featuring 3-pointers by Sexton and Johnny Juzang to grab a 42-39 lead late in the second quarter.
