With G League playoffs starting in less than two weeks, the Long Island Nets have lost three of their last four games, including a 29-point blowout to the at Nassau Coliseum Thursday night. With Noah Clowney in Brooklyn and two-way Keon Johnson unavailable, the Long Islanders had little scoring prowess and wound up shooting 42.1% overall and only 22.9% from deep. Three Nets who head coach Mfon Udofia usually relies on for buckets — Kyler Edwards, Patrick Gardner and the Nets third two-way Jacob Gilyard — shot a combined 5-of-25 overall, 1-of-13 from deep.
One positive note out of the night was a breakout game from the Brooklyn Nets most recent and presumably final acquisition of the season, Jaylen Martin.
