Their season looked done, in ruins.
After a disastrous loss to the Capital City Go-Go on Friday night, the Long Island Nets seemed to be on the outside looking in to the Eastern Conference playoffs — permanently. But after some Saturday night heroics by other G League clubs, the Long Island Nets will be headed to the postseason for only the second time in franchise history.
The Nets finished the year 18-15, while the Grand Rapids Gold and Westchester Knicks both entered the night 17-14. each ahead of the Nets in the standings. Because of cancelled G League games at the beginning of the year that were not rescheduled, not every team finished with the same number of games played.
