Lakeland Magic’s Stan Heath is NBA G League Coach of Year

The G League played out 15 regular-season games in 25 days, then used a single-elimination format for its eight-team playoff at the Disney World bubble.

Heath’s team rode a 5-1 finish to qualify for the playoffs as the No. 6 seed, then outscored its three opponents by an average of 20 points en route to the title.

The Magic beat the Erie BayHawks 139-110 and the Santa Cruz Warriors 108-96 to reach the finals, where they downed the Delaware Blue Coats 97-78 to win the single-elimination tournament and close out the inaugural G League bubble at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
