The Long Island Nets’ Thursday night matchup against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants could have easily been a repeat of the two squads’ outing the day before when the Pacers affiliate beat the Nets affiliate. A mere 24 hours later, the same two teams tipped off at the same venue, in the same colors, with largely the same rosters. Not the same result.
For the first 47 minutes of game time, nothing seemed to divert much from Wednesday’s 125-115 victory by Fort Wayne.
Despite the final score, the first meeting between the Nets and Mad Ants was close throughout.
