The Long Island Nets kicked off their G League bubble season with a heart thumper over the Iowa Wolves, the Timberwolves affiliate, 131-128, in the G League”bubble” at Walt Disney World. With the win, Bret Brielmaier recorded his first win as a head coach after more than a decade as an assistant coach in the NBA.
The game came down to the final seconds. With the score tied up at 128, Elie Okobo, the former Suns point guard, hit a game-winning three with 13.8 seconds remaining to seal the win for Long Island.
Following the win, Brielmaier wanted to make sure everyone knew Okobo called bank on his deep three but noted how the team shouldn’t have been in that position — explaining how mental lapses and blown coverages had the game to come down to the final seconds.
