Hornets Overcome Nets 110-99, Jeopardizing Brooklyn's Playoff Aspirations

Cam Thomas' 31-point comeback not enough to secure a win, as the Nets' defense falters against Charlotte.

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Brooklyn Nets 110-99, snapping their six-game losing streak and further dimming the Nets' playoff hopes.
Cam Thomas returned to the Nets' lineup after a six-game absence due to an ankle injury, scoring a game-high 31 points.
Despite Thomas' return and early lead, the Nets' defense struggled, allowing the Hornets to shoot over 54% from the field.
The loss puts the Nets 4.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the final Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament spot.
The Nets face a challenging road ahead, with upcoming games against the Cavaliers, Magic, Pacers, and Spurs as they vie for a playoff spot.
