The Fort Report: Mad Ants Off to Fast Start

The Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the Pacers' G League affiliate, have started the season strong, winning three of their first four contests. In their third year under head coach Steve Gansey, the 2017-18 roster features a mix of familiar faces and new blood, but they've meshed well so far, putting the Mad Ants in second place in the Central Division, just a half-game back of the first-place Grand Rapids Drive (Detroit's affiliate).

The Mad Ants dropped their season opener at the Long Island Nets (Brooklyn's affiliate) on Nov. 4, 115-99, despite a game-high 34 points from Walter Lemon Jr.
