The sporadic, yet entertaining Summer League Nets will not be renewed for another episode. After falling to the Cavaliers in the league semis, 102-99, in overtime Sunday, Brooklyn’s Vegas run reached its end. The Nets finish 3-2 while the Cavaliers head to the Summer League championship game Monday night vs. the Rockets.
The first period saw Brooklyn and Cleveland each enjoy brief but impactful runs. The Cavs ripped through the Nets with an early 9-0 stretch to take a double digit lead. Sam Merrill hit an and-one triple to give Cleveland an eight point lead. Merrill hit the shot as Noah Clowney barreled into him.
