PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Since acquiring D\u2019Angelo Russell, the Nets had been a winless 0-6 without him. <\/p>\n
That was until Saturday and Trendon Watford\u2019s endgame heroics.<\/p>\n
The Nets started recent 10-day signee Killian Hayes at point guard, but when it was crunch time, they turned to 6-foot-9 forward Watford to make plays, and he made them. <\/p>\n
Watford had 11 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter, logging 9:14 in the final period as the only Net with a positive plus-minus in the final stanza of a 105-103 win over the 76ers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time to win. I mean, Jordi [Fernandez] told me I was pretty much gonna finish the game. So, fourth quarter, it\u2019s time to win. We all just knew we had to win that quarter to win the game,\u201d Watford said. \u201cMan, I\u2019m so glad we ain\u2019t have to go to overtime. Honestly, I ain\u2019t know if I had it in me to play five more minutes, I ain\u2019t gonna lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fernandez said of Watford: \u201cHe helps you win. And he does that because he\u2019s able to score, but also able to handle and playmake and play four positions, and post-up and make a 3. So all those things are super valuable at his size and position.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cam Thomas was his usual high-scoring self in his first five-on-five since getting hurt, and the gifted young guard seems on the brink of a return.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m all right,\u201d Thomas told The Post before Saturday\u2019s win. \u201cI\u2019m just taking it by their plan, and we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
It marked the 22nd straight game Thomas had missed with a left hamstring strain. He hasn\u2019t played since a Jan. 2 victory in Milwaukee, and it\u2019s unclear if he\u2019ll be ready to return Monday in Washington.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust day-by-day now and see, seeing how I feel,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI\u2019m just seeing how my body reacts, you know? Once I feel good, you know you\u2019ll see me out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thursday marked his first five-on-five since the injury, significant since it\u2019s essentially the final hurdle to be cleared in his comeback.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe did great. He scored a lot. I made sure that I told the coaches to pass him the ball and let him shoot,\u201d Fernandez said. \u201cHe was great. He did a good job, he was in a good place. It was good to see him play. \u2026 Obviously, he has to play again and again and feel like he can sustain a certain amount of load. Then we\u2019ll decide.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be soon. I cannot tell you exactly when, but it\u2019s trending in the right direction, and he\u2019s in a good place and we\u2019re happy to have him back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Nets didn\u2019t say what grade Russell\u2019s ankle sprain was, but ruled him out for Monday\u2019s tilt at the Wizards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
