You can’t win them all, but in the G League, you can take some positives out of a loss.
The Long Island Nets had their nine-game winning streak snapped Wednesday morning when the Grand Rapids Gold, the Nuggets G League affiliate, beat the Nets affiliate, 96-89, at Nassau Coliseum. Long Island is now 16-9 in fifth place but only a game and a half out of the top seed in the tight G League Eastern Conference standings. Playoffs begin April 5.
The positives were the Nets two bigs, Day’Ron Sharpe and Thon Maker. Sharpe notched 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks while shooting 6-of-14 from the field and 3-of-5 from distance in 30 minutes.
