NEW YORK — He did it again.
One game after setting a new career-high, second-year scorer Cam Thomas eclipsed it in the Nets’ 124-116 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.
Thomas scored a new high of 47 points in 39 minutes, shooting 15-of-29 from the field and 7-of-11 from downtown. The Clippers tried several tactics to slow down the 21-year-old guard, from face-guarding him the full length of the court with athletic wing Terrance Mann, to chasing him around the court with vaunted defensive stalwart Kawhi Leonard.
