The Long Island Nets were beaten by the Maine Celtics on Friday night, 111-99, just one night after Brooklyn’s G League were able to beat the Boston’s affiliate team themselves. The 1-1 mini series puts Long Island at 4-8 to conclude pre-showcase play.
The Nets will now travel directly to Las Vegas where they will participate in the NBA G League Showcase, the league’s “premier in-season NBA scouting opportunity,” which includes the expanded NBA G League Showcase Cup Tournament, a single-elimination tournament where eight teams will compete for the Showcase Cup Championship.
A few hours before tip-off, the Long Island Nets that head coach Adam Caporn will miss Friday night’s game in Maine and the upcoming NBA G League Winter Showcase for undisclosed personal reasons.
