Entering Thursday night, the Long Island Nets were full of confidence.
Coming off of their longest road trip of the season, the Nets had won four straight games, and six of their last eight.
“I think we have a lot of confidence in what we’re doing,” head coach Adam Caporn said pre-game. “Our ability to be highly competitive and put ourselves in a position to win, that’s what I like: that we’ve got belief in what we’re doing.”
The road trip saw the Brooklyn Nets’ G League team travel from Detroit to Chicago to Grand Rapids, with each Midwestern stop featuring some crummy weather.
