Tom Thibodeau was as “pissed”as you’ll ever see him, feeling Julius Randle’s frustration over the officiating. Randle after the Knicks’ loss to Nets: “I can’t be penalized for being stronger than people. And that is an answer I got [from refs] today” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 1:17 AM

Cam Thomas has scored in double figures 3 of the 4 games he’s played at least 15 minutes — 10 PPG on 43% shooting. Nets 3-1 in those games.

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Julius Randle said refs told him tonight that certain contact doesn’t affect him like it affects other players because of his size/strength, which factors in to how he’s officiated. “I can’t be penalized for just being stronger…. That’s now how you officiate the game.” – 10:39 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
I’d assume a fine is coming for Thibs, but if Randle is correct in claim that officials told him he’s not getting calls because he’s too strong and contact doesn’t affect him, well, that’s odd. – 10:35 PM

Great patience from Kevin Durant on Nets’ final possession of BKN’s 112-110 win over NYK. Durant waited for NYK’s trap, found an opening that led to James Johnson drawing a foul on drive to rim; Johnson then hit 2 FTs to win game. Nets have won 11 of last 14; NYK falls to 11-10. – 10:02 PM

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Worth noting: Kemba Walker was one of the first Knicks off the bench, celebrating, after that Derrick Rose layup late in the third. Walker was then up & yelling after Evan Fournier’s three cut BKN’s lead to 6 later in the quarter. BKN leads NYK by 4 heading into fourth quarter. – 9:14 PM

The Nets started the 3rd quarter on 14-0 run, but the Knicks clawed back and trail 84-88 entering the 4th quarter. Kevin Durant is up to 16 points and James Harden has 30 on 9/16 FG. Randle + Burks = 35 points and D-Rose has 14 off the bench. Great finish incoming. – 9:14 PM

Halftime: Nets trail the Knicks 61-60. Harden with his third 3 before the buzzer. He’s up to 28. Cam Thomas has 10. DeAndre’ Bembry, one game removed from his season-high took just one shot the whole first half. Julius Randle didn’t get going until the end of the half. – 8:30 PM

James Harden walks the ball up court then crosses over into a side-step 3 to make it a 61-60 game — led by the Knicks.
Harden has 28 points on 8/12 FG but Cam Thomas (10 PTS) is the only other Net in double figures. Durant is off: 2/9 FG for 6 PTS.
