The Long Island Nets are one win away from capturing their first ever G League Championship. The Nets affiliate traveled to Edinburg, Texas, where they will face the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Western Conference champs, Tuesday night in Game 2 of the league finals. In Game 1 Sunday, the Nets beat the Vipers handily in the best-of-3 series.
A win in Texas and it’s over. A loss and it’s back to Island Federal Arena in Stony Brook for Game 3 Friday. But the Nets hope it won’t come to that.
The Nets did a good job controlling Game 1 against the Vipers, especially early when they dominated the Western Conference champs.
