Cam Thomas finished with 43 points, becoming the youngest player in NBA history with three straight 40-point games. But it wasn't enough for the Nets to hold off the Suns in Devin Booker's return.
Suns: Chris Paul surpassed 2,500 steals, a mark reached by only John Stockton, Jason Kidd and Michael Jordan. He had nine points and 12 assists.
Nets: Brooklyn was also without Seth Curry and Yuta Watanabe . ... Coach Jacque Vaughn said Durant continues to progress well in his recovery but still hasn’t been involved in the any portions of practice where there is contact. Vaughn said he didn’t know when Durant would take that step, and he won’t play before he does. The Nets only have four games remaining before the All-Star break.
“My career’s been hard, and that right there kind of solidified knowing, like, my family’s going to be fine,” Dinwiddie said. He said there was nostalgia being back in Brooklyn, where he averaged a career-best 20.6 points in 2019-20, and praised Finney-Smith’s ability to be an important contributor to the team.
“Understanding that we may not be the best trade package, but we are the best-looking and the Nets needed some help in that department,” he joked.
