Chaisson Allen’s debut season as a head coach in the NBA G-League is off to a perfect start as the Wisconsin Herd have racked up wins in the first two games of the 2021-22 season, besting the Cleveland Charge 126-124 on Monday before downing the Motor City Cruise 121-116 on Thursday.
While scoring may be down in the NBA, the Herd’s showdown with the Cruise, in particular, proved that G League offenses are thriving. In a game that featured 18 lead changes, with both teams building double-digit leads at times, the Herd made a late push to clinch a win as four Wisconsin players tallied 20 or more points.
