Cam Thomas

Cam Thomas put together a star turn, carrying the Kyrie Irving-less Nets to a 125-123 victory over the Wizards at Barclays Center on Saturday night.

The referee review showed goaltending as well, by Gafford, and the Nets had a great escape. But the Nets used a 13-0 run — capped by consecutive Patty Mills 3-pointers — to cut the deficit to seven. Thomas pulled the Nets within 99-97, and after collaring an intercepted pass, he beat Corey Kispert upcourt for a game-tying dunk that knotted it at 109-all. So we just have to come out and keep the main thing the main thing, and shut out all the outside noise and go out and play as hard as we can and let the chips fall where they may. “I mean, at the end of the day, it’s basketball. Warren, and lost Seth Curry and Markieff Morris during the game. The Nets also played without Ben Simmons and T.J. Irving — who hadn’t been listed on the initial injury report — After a review, it was determined that Daniel Gafford had committed goaltending on the shot. The Nets are 5-7 since Kevin Durant sprained his right MCL on Jan. “We [were] down by a lot, 18,” Thomas said. That helped the Nets,

Cam Thomas scored a career-high 44 points off the bench and the Nets rallied from a 23-point deficit to stun the Wizards 125-123.

With the Nets ahead 120-119, Morris gave the Wizards the lead again on a pair of free throws. Porzingis replied with a 14-footer and two free throws to extend the Wizards’ lead to 106-101. The Nets entered the game third in the Atlantic Division, fourth in the Eastern Conference, and sixth overall in the NBA. “He was able to get through, (but) you could tell there were some moments throughout the third or fourth quarter when he just didn’t move correctly,” Unseld Jr. Thomas converted a layup and a two-handed dunk on Brooklyn’s next two possessions to tie it at 109-109. Patty Mills added 13 points and Royce O’Neale had 10 for the Nets, who trailed 44-21 late in the first quarter.

With several stars out of action, the Nets needed someone to step up in Saturday's game against the Wizards. Cam Thomas delivered.

He scored 19 points in Brooklyn’s previous game and 21 in the game before that. Sometimes it costs you. Sometimes irrational confidence is a skill. In a December game against the Indiana Pacers, Thomas had 33 points.

If this is the end of the line for Hyland in Denver, he could be a future difference-maker for whichever team lands him. The situation in Denver is developing quickly, and Stein says over the last week, Hyland has emerged as one of the names most likely to be on the move ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Feb. "He is a young, promising player, but does his age and does his trajectory of progression — does it tie in with what Denver is trying to do right now?" Amid reported "friction" between Hyland and the Nuggets, the 22-year-old could be ready for a change of scenery. On the other side, Purdue falls for the first time since suffering a one-point loss to Rutgers on Jan. He looked like a shell of his former self and some of his antics rubbed his teammates the wrong way. The Lakers carried a slim 32-30 lead going into the second quarter, and that was quickly erased as the Pelicans began with four straight points to take their first lead of the game. Haynes called Durant the "next puzzle" for the Nets to solve after they deal with the Irving situation. Only one of those teams finished a season in the top 10 in yards gained, while only four finished in the top 10 in points scored. The Lakers let the Pelicans hang around instead of stepping on their throats when they had the chance, and the result was New Orleans going on another run to start the fourth. The Pelicans also got their star going with Ingram scoring 16 points in the second after going scoreless in the first due to the early foul trouble. The Nets got the rebound and ran out of time after Thomas was fouled, giving Washington the chance to tie.

Ayo Dosunmu had 13 points, including a key 3-pointer in the third quarter. Atlanta defenders had blocked the Nuggets´ last three field goal attempts in the third period. That helped the Nuggets take a 70-52 halftime lead. Gilgeous-Alexander shot seven for 23 in a loss to the Rockets on Wednesday. Jokic finished with 14 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists and recorded the 94th regular-season triple-double of his career. Leonard connected on all of his eight free throws in the extra session, finishing 12 for 12 from the line. 'Second night in a row we had big leads against these good team and they´re coming back. Jimmy Butler scored 32 points and Tyler Herro added 24 for the Heat, who had just nine available players. Nico makes the big shot and we controlled the overtime.' The 11 assists matched his season high.

Putting aside a horrendous shooting night on the first half of Washington’s back-to-back, Avdija has logged career highs in points twice since Rui Hachimura was traded to the Lakers on Jan. Thomas’ five assists on Saturday were a supplement to his case for a starting role after he developed a reputation for being a one-dimensional, ball-dominant guard who wore the leather out looking for his own shot. Thomas hasn’t earned his ticket off the bench yet, but a few repeat performances of what he did on Sunday may leave the Nets without a choice. [infamous eyeroll](https://deadspin.com/steve-nash-was-a-lame-duck-head-coach-from-the-start-in-1849165518) at the mere mention of Nash’s comments pertaining to him looking for teammates during a summer league postgame interview was the canary in the coal mine. Thomas has felt underutilized on the Nets in the past, going so far as to change his Instagram bio to #FreeCT after Steve Nash was canned in early November. [Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes](https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1622250871571779585) reported Sunday morning that that the Nets will sideline Irving indefinitely as they scrape the bottom of the barrel for suitors who can provide pennies on the dollar for Irving by the Feb.

Thomas notched 44 points (16-23 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-123 victory over the Wizards.

9 trade deadline after informing the Nets of his desire to be moved, Thomas at least makes for an enticing cursory pickup, particularly in points leagues. Simmons and Warren are both day-to-day and could be back in action Monday against the Clippers, but with Irving likely to remain out through at least the Feb. With Ben Simmons (knee) and T.J.

Former Tiger Cam Thomas scored a career-best 44 points last night and his Brooklyn Nets needed every last point to hold off the Washington Wizards 125-123.

Brooklyn will sit Irving until a trade materializes which could open the door for Thomas to stake his claim as a big part of the Nets’ future. Thomas has a chance to really establish himself in Brooklyn now that Kyrie Irving has requested a trade and is reportedly willing to sit out the rest of the season if those demands are not met. At 21-years-old, he became the third youngest player in NBA history to score 40+ points off the bench.
