Cam Thomas put on a scoring clinic with a 40-point performance as the Brooklyn Nets (20-28) cruised to a commanding 136-121 victory over the depleted Philadelphia 76ers (30-18) on Saturday night. The 22-year-old guard has been on a scoring tear, averaging an impressive 36.3 points in his last four games.
The absence of Joel Embiid, sidelined due to a left meniscus injury, proved crucial for Philadelphia, which struggled to contain Thomas.
Mikal Bridges contributed 23 points, guiding the Nets to break a nine-game losing streak against the 76ers.
