Nets’ Cam Thomas continues hot streak, makes history with 3rd-straight 40-point game

Thomas becomes the youngest player in NBA history to score at least 40 points in three consecutive games.

Former LSU and current Brooklyn Nets guard [autotag]Cam Thomas[/autotag] is in the middle of what could be a breakout campaign.

After scoring 44 and 47 points in each of Brooklyn’s last two contests — becoming the second youngest player to score at least 44 in consecutive games after LeBron James — Thomas delivered another prolific performance in the Nets’ 116-112 loss against the Phoenix Suns, scoring 43.

At 21, he now becomes the youngest player to score at least 40 points in three-straight games.

It’s no coincidence that Thomas’ breakout has come in the wake of the Kyrie Irving trade, and the former 27th overall pick in 2021 is thriving in his expanded role. Only time will tell if he can keep it up, but Thomas is playing truly out of his mind right now.

Here were some of the best snapshots from his history-making night.
