The Wisconsin Herd have had an incredibly positive start to life in the G League, but on Friday night they were given a masterclass in what can be achieved by a franchise playing at this level.
The Herd made their first ever trip to Santa Cruz and were greeted by a raucous atmosphere at the Kaiser Permanente Arena. As Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry watched on from courtside, Santa Cruz gave a pitch perfect impersonation of their NBA big brothers, tearing the Herd apart in transition, forcing countless turnovers and scoring in relentless bursts that blew the game wide open.
