The Brooklyn Nets aren't sure when Kevin Durant can come back or how soon Kyrie Irving might be able to play in New York.

In the meantime, rookie Cam Thomas did an amazing impression of either of them to lead a stunning comeback that matched the biggest in franchise history.

The rookie led Brooklyn back from a 28-point deficit with 16 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, and the Nets beat the New York Knicks 111-106 on Wednesday night.

Thomas hit a deep 3-pointer to clinch it with 7.7 seconds remaining, a shot that had Durant dancing far off the bench in delight.
