Cam Thomas hits clutch shot in overtime to seal Brooklyn Nets’ victory

Cam Thomas is keeping LSU basketball’s good weekend going.

After the current Tigers team beat Tennessee on Saturday night, Thomas kept the good times going in the pro ranks on Sunday.

As you can see below, last year’s superstar LSU freshman hit the game-winning shot to help the Brooklyn Nets take down the San Antonio Spurs in overtime:

Thomas averaged 23 points per game for LSU last year. So far for the Nets this year, the first-round pick is averaging 6.3 points per game in 15.5 minutes per contest.

Here’s Thomas breaking down what happened on the final play, when the Spurs clearly thought Kevin Durant would be taking the shot:

"I told Kevin … End the game. So he gave it to me, so I said I'll do it."

Thomas clearly doesn’t mind having the ball in clutch situations. Perhaps more game-winning shots are coming in his future.
