The G League season is divided in two: a 16-game Tip-Off Tournament that serves as an extended pre-season, then after a Winter Showcase in Orlando, a real deal, the league’s regular season begins. Whatever a team did in the Tip-Off doesn’t matter in terms of the league’s playoffs and ultimate success. The regular season permits a team to reset at 0-0.
That’s a good thing for the Long Island Nets. They went 2-14 in those first 16, then after a major revamp around the time of the Showcase, they’re turned thing around and on Wednesday night, Long Island defeated Windy City, 110-92.
