Cam Thomas scored a game-high 34 points and the Brooklyn Nets rallied past the Sacramento Kings for a 108-103 road victory Sunday night.
Noah Clowney had 18 points off the bench and Cameron Johnson scored 16 for the Nets, who blew a 19-point, second-quarter lead and trailed 94-90 in the fourth before rallying for their second win in three games.
De’Aaron Fox had a team-high 31 points for the Kings, who dropped their third straight.
Thomas nailed a 3-pointer with 8:55 to go to ignite Brooklyn’s late comeback and Ben Simmons followed with a dunk off an offensive rebound to give the Nets a 95-94 lead.
Thomas closed a 9-0 run with two free throws and a layup, giving the visitors a 99-94 lead, and Sacramento never got closer than three the rest of the way.
The Kings almost battled back after holding the Nets without a point for almost three minutes. Sacramento got within 107-103 on Fox’s free throw with 1:25 left.
But Fox missed his second foul shot and the Kings misfired on their last four field-goal attempts. Jalen Wilson ended Brooklyn’s drought with a free throw with 9.7 seconds left.

Led by Clowney and Milton, the Nets’ reserves outscored their counterparts 44-9.
