Despite Cam Thomas’ 18 points for the Nets and a strong fourth-quarter performance from Royce O’Neale, who scored all 15 of his points from beyond the arc, Brooklyn struggled to find consistency. Nic Claxton’s 15 points and career-high seven blocks were overshadowed by his ejection for a flagrant-two foul on Podziemski in the fourth quarter.
