The Long Island Nets entered Friday night’s rematch with the Cleveland Charge with one goal: sweep the Cavaliers G League affiliate on their home floor after coming away with a win in the first matchup Wednesday.
And sweep they did, dressed in Sponge Bob-themed jerseys. Long Island extended their winning streak to four games, the longest of the G League season, and now sit firmly in the playoff picture at 8-6.
Yes, Sponge Bob themed! As in Sponge Bob Square Pants.
The Nets, working with a tourist agency from Taiwan, even provided the first 1,000 (of 2,312) fans with SpongeBob t-shirts.
