Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has been one of the best players on the team since the beginning of the season when he entered the starting lineup. Since then, Thomas has had plenty of performances that have shown Brooklyn’s fanbase, and the NBA world, what he can do when the opportunity is there.
The Nets beat the Washington Wizards in overtime on Wednesday 122-119 and a big reason for Brooklyn emerging victorious was because of the play of Thomas. Thomas put up 38 points and seven assists in an outing that showed how Thomas can be more than a scorer when on the floor.
Thomas essentially went shot-for-shot with Wizards guard Jordan Poole, who also dropped 38 points, and the best part was that he did it in an efficient manner. Thomas shot 14-of-27 from the field, 2-of-6 from three-point land, and 8-for-8 from free-throw line while turning the basketball over just twice in over 45 minutes of floor time.
There were also some moments when Thomas was either the lone ball-handler or was the lead guard on the floor and he had to handle the ball against some tough perimeter defense. He notched his 12th 30-point game of the season and afterwards, Thomas reacted to how he played:
“Just reading the game. Just taking what the defense give me. It’s been an emphasis for me this year since teams are keying in on me more so I got to learn how to attack the NBA defense differently. Just reading the game and just getting my guys shots. Make-or-miss, you got to live with it.”
