The Long Island Nets returned to the court on Saturday afternoon following two off-days Montreal, Canada but couldn’t come away with a win. Still, the big positive and big story for the Nets wasn’t the loss. It wasn’t the crowd of 6,096 at Place Bell in suburban Laval either. It was Killian Hayes continuing his audition for a return to the NBA, a year after the lottery pick was unceremoniously dumped by the Detroit Pistons.
After missing three games to the flu, the 6’5” 23-year-old put up 25 points, 11 assists and hit five threes, his fifth straight game of 20 or more points.
