ORLANDO, Fla. — As soon as Cam Thomas came back, so did the Nets offense. But in the end, it was their defense that let them down against the Magic.
The guard played his first game since suffering a hamstring injury before Thanksgiving and looked like he never missed a beat, although the Nets couldn’t hold a 21-point cushion or stop Cole Anthony on the game-winning drive that sent them collapsing to a 102-101 loss before a sellout crowd of 19,397 at Kia Center.
Anthony had 10 points, all in the second half after Jalen Suggs left with a sprained right wrist. He drove for the winner with 0.8 seconds left.

He poured in 25 points, six rebounds and six ᴀssists off the bench under a тιԍнт minutes restriction. But every minute he played was huge for the Nets, who traded away starting power forward Dorian Finney-Smith hours before tipoff. And with point guard Dennis Schroder already dealt away earlier this month, they needed Thomas’ scoring punch.
