The Long Island Nets returned to the court Thursday afternoon for a matinee game in Texas against the best team in the West, the 14-6 Austin Spurs, but their three-game winning streak ended with a tough 124-121 loss.
The game pitted two of the hottest teams in the G League with the Spurs on a four-game winning streak. After a close game that once again saw Long Island lose an early lead, Austin held on to win.
While you could point fingers at the referees who Nets players and coaches felt made some absolutely abysmal calls, Long Island did surrender a 13-point lead in the span of two minutes early in the game.
