It seems every time Noah Clowney gets some minutes with the big club and returns to the G League, he explodes as if to say, “I am ready.” He did it again Tuesday afternoon.
The 6’10” 19-year-old had his best game as a Long Island Net vs. the Birmingham Squadron. He scored a season-high 33 points on 12-of-15 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three, and finished with nine rebounds, two assists and two steals, as his team won its fifth straight, 134-124, over the New Orleans Pelicans affiliate in Alabama’s biggest city. With G League playoffs now three weeks away, Long Island (16-11) is tied for third in the East but only two games out of the top seed.
