The Long Island Nets first two-game jaunt across the U.S.-Canadian border ended Sunday with a loss to the Raptors 905, giving them a win and a loss in suburban Montreal. But for the organization, the trip was a big success. Long Island, who will play six “home” games at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec, this season, drew a total of 15,000 fans to games Friday night and Sunday afternoon, the two biggest crowds a Nets affiliate has ever played for and introducing the Nets brand to a whole new fanbase.
The final score was close, with the Raptors G League affiliate eking out a 122-118 win in the final seconds.
