NEW YORK (AP) — Cam Thomas scored 32 points and the Brooklyn Nets rallied with a big fourth quarter for a 113-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.

Dennis Schroder added 24 points and Noah Clowney had 17 off the bench for the Nets, who won their second straight game. Mikal Bridges chipped in with 13 and Jalen Wilson finished with 10.

“Just having something to build on for next year,” Thomas said of the two-game winning streak. “We just have to finish strong. Keep developing the culture that we (were) preaching during training camp. …Just finishing strong (and) seeing what we can build on for next year so we don’t have another season like this.”

Detroit dropped to 13-65 with its fourth straight loss. Chimezie Metu led the Pistons with 20 points. Marcus Sasser finished with 18 and Jaden Ivey added 16.

Troy Brown Jr. had 15 and Jaylen Nowell contributed 12 off the bench for the Pistons, who led by 19 and were still ahead 83-75 after three before the Nets outscored them 38-20 over the final 12 minutes.

“We competed,” Pistons coach Monty Williams said. “If you compete, you give yourself a chance. I thought our guys competed.”
