The Long Island Nets rose to victory against the Grand Rapids Gold, the Nuggets G League affiliate, Saturday night, 96-85. The win improves the Nets’ record to 7-3, the fourth seed in the Eastern conference and only a half-game back from the first seed.
“This is one of my favorite wins,” head coach Ronnie Burrell said postgame, a nod to the defensive nature of the matchup. “Some type of days you can’t throw it in the ocean no matter what it is, but as long as you win — those teams are good. The defense has to be consistent, so I’m happy with this win.
