What was once a stellar season for the Long Island Nets seems to be coming apart at the end. With three more games to go in the G League season, the Nets have dropped six-straight games and have now fallen out of the playoff picture.
Some of the losses have been close. Some, like Saturday night’s 139-119 romp by the Greensboro Swarm, have not. The loss wasn’t entirely Long Island’s fault. The Swarm, the G League affiliate team of the Charlotte Hornets, connected on 15 of their 29 total 3-point attempts, a staggeringly high number.
In the NBA (and the G League), high-variance shooting games happen.
