Nets roll past Suns, Kevin Durant behind two-way player’s 30 points in Cam Thomas’ absence
NY Post
PHOENIX — The Nets lost their leading scorer, but they didn’t lose their grit. Or the game.
Hours after finding out they would be without injured Cam Thomas for at least three weeks, Brooklyn ground out a 127-117 win at Phoenix and old pal Kevin Durant.
One player’s injury is another’s opportunity. And in the Nets’ next-man-up mantra, Tyrese Martin stepped up and showed out.
The young guard poured in a career-high 30 points off the bench to help the Nets (9-10) to their third straight win.
Then they poured celebratory water all over him in a victorious locker room.
“S–t, I felt like I was drowning in the ocean. Everybody’s throwing water, it’s cold. A lot of love, though. A lot of love. It felt good,” Martin said.
