The Long Island Nets went into Friday’s game with the Windy City Bulls the G-League’s top defensive club. That didn’t last long. Four quarters later, the Bulls had smashed the Nets 129-114, losing only their second game in the last seven.
The game was ultimately a back-and-forth affair with the Bulls holding the advantage throughout the first half, going up by 45-30, then 60-50 at the half. Long Island moved ahead in the third, but the fourth quarter belonged to Windy City, who outscored the home team by 19, 45-26.
Long Island’s three Brooklyn players —Isaiah Whitehead, Milton Doyle and James Webb III— each scored more than 20 points.
