While the Brooklyn took on the challenging Chicago Bulls on Saturday night, the Nets’ G League squad — the Long Island Nets — were away in Delaware facing the Blue Coats, the Philadelphia 76ers affiliate.
Despite star performances from some prominent young Nets players, Kessler Edwards in particular, Long Island lost its second straight, 110-125. They now hold a 2-6 record on the “showcase” part of the NBA G League season.
Saturday night marked the first matchup for the Nets affiliate since November 23rd, 11 days ago. The G League schedule took an informal break around the holidays as players returned home to be with their families for Thanksgiving.
