Milwaukee Bucks at Brooklyn Nets
· National Basketball AssociationThomas scores 32, Nets beat Bucks 115-102 in home opener for first win under Jordi Fernandez
The Nets pulled away in the fourth quarter after opening with two road losses in their first season under Fernandez, a native of Badalona, Spain.
Thomas scored 11 in the final period to surpass the 30 points he had averaged in the first two games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Bucks, who have dropped two straight after winning their opener. Damian Lillard scored 21 points and Bobby Portis Jr. had 16 points and 10 boards.
Nets: Thomas has the green light and can get on hot streaks and Schroder is a feisty competitor, and even a team without a ton of talent in a rebuilding season can be tough when both have it going.
