Four nights after being blown out by the Stockton Kings, the Long Island Nets returned to the central California city Wednesday to beat the Kings’ affiliate, 105-101, led by a combined 55 points from Noah Clowney and Jalen Wilson.
It was Clowney’s latest career-high at 28 points. The 6’10” big grabbed seven rebounds and blocked a shot as well in 34 minutes. In the Nets game vs. the Kings Monday, he was limited to six by NBA veteran big Skal Labassiere, but on Wednesday he went 11-of-17, including 1-of-4 from deep. It was Clowney’s third game of 25 or more points in the past eight and included yet another highlight slam.
