Theo Pinson drained seven 3-pointers Sunday at Nassau Coliseum and the Long Island Nets made seven of eight free throws in the final 1:21 to hold off the Memphis Hustle for a 137-132 win that moved the Nets back into first place in the NBA G League’s Eastern Conference.
The win was the third straight for Long Island (24-14) and completed a road-home back-to-back sweep after the Nets beat Raptors 905 on the road on Saturday.
With the Lakeland Magic (25-15) losing Sunday on the road to the Westchester Knicks, Long Island moved back into first place in the East, percentage points ahead of the Magic.
