Long Island, led by Hawks assignee Mike Scott, wins second straight

The Long Island Nets, playing in Fort Wayne, Indiana, won their second straight game Friday night, defeating the Mad Ants, 118-113, in a game that was similar to parent club’s game vs. Orlando ... except, of course, L.I. won.

The young Nets, now 4-14, and the Mad Ants, now 9-3, went back and forth the whole night, but in the end, the Nets went on a small run to win, the key play a Yogi Ferrell three-pointer with no time on the clock late in the fourth.

Mike Scott, the Hawks forward assigned to Long Island under the D-League’s flexible assignment program, led the Nets with 23 points on 10-of-20 shooting, including 3-of-6 from downtown.
