Coming off of an impressive overtime victory against the Oklahoma City Blue yesterday, the Long Island Nets were once again tasked with playing for their playoff lives Tuesday afternoon. This time, the Nets faced off against the Austin Spurs one day after the San Antonio Spurs lost to the Brooklyn Nets.
After a strong first quarter where they went down by as many as 12 points, the Spurs rallied to take a double digit lead of their own. But after a tight second quarter of play, the Long Island deficit was down to two. That’s as close as it would get, unfortunately. The Spurs went on a 3-point barrage, and their lead quickly ballooned past double digits into 20 point territory.
Fort Wayne tops Long Island, 109-95
