Kawhi Leonard credited the opponents who have scored 40+ on the Clippers each of the last three games — Giannis, Brunson and Cam Thomas — as “amazing” players but said of the defense: “I think we could buy in a little bit more and try to stop that.” – 11:01 PM

“Cam Thomas is the 2nd-youngest player in NBA history with consecutive 40-point games. The only one that did it at a younger age was LeBron James (two different streaks in 2006).” – 10:56 PM

Either Spencer Dinwiddie or Fred VanVleet is probably gonna be Brooklyn’s starting point guard for the rest of the season, but I really hope they give Cam Thomas a few bench minutes per night to just cook without a veteran PG or Durant on the floor. He’s got something. – 9:56 PM

Remember, James is only a few points away from becoming the NBA’s all-time scoring leader — a record that Kareem has held for almost four decades. You would think with such an accomplishment, the ones who doubt King James would come around … but Beasley says that won’t happen, even when he’s crowned. “They gon’ keep hating,” the former NBA power forward tells us at LAX this week. “It’s a good percentage of the world that just wanna go against the grain. That’s literally what we get. We get the ones who wanna go against the grain.” -via TMZ.com / February 6, 2023
Meghan Triplett: Look at this: Cam Thomas (41 points) has recorded 40+ points in consecutive games. Thomas is the fifth player in the franchise’s NBA history to score 40+ points in consecutive games. Thomas is the youngest player in franchise history to tally 40+ points in consecutive games. -via Twitter @Meghan_Triplett / February 6, 2023
Neil Dalal: NBA’s Last Two Minute report for Wizards-Nets says Deni Avdija fouling Cam Thomas on the Daniel Gafford goaltend was the incorrect call. Avdija was upset with the call post-game. Thomas also got fouled earlier by Delon Wright that wasn’t called, but also got away with a travel. -via Twitter @NeilDalal96 / February 5, 2023
