Delaware snaps 4-game skid with blowout of ice-cold Green, Ignite

The Delaware Blue Coats got back to their winning ways in the NBA G League after blowing out the Ignite Select Team, 120-92, on Monday, March 1 (Tuesday, March 2, Manila time), at the AdventHealth Arena in the Orlando, Florida bubble.

Far removed from their sterling 7-0 start, the Blue Coats snapped a 4-game losing streak, and moved up to 4th place with an 8-4 record.

Ignite, meanwhile, took Delaware’s old spot at 7th with a 7-5 slate, and are currently alternating wins and losses in its last 6 games.

Congolese forward Jonathan Kuminga was the only prospect in double-digit scoring with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists on 5/15 shooting.

Meanwhile, Fil-Am Jalen Green fell off a cliff with just 8 points, his first G League game in single-digit scoring, on a 0/7 clip from downtown with 4 turnovers after netting 24 and 26 markers in his last two games.

Key bench prospects Isaiah Todd and Daishen Nix were no better, as they added just 8 and 2 points, respectively.

Shortly after letting Ignite taste an early 8-4 lead, the Blue Coats quickly left their foes in the dust with a huge 18-0 run for the 22-8 gap with 3:31 left in the opening period.

That early scoring spurt was all Delaware needed to establish wire-to-wire dominance, as they peaked with a 34-point lead, 103-69, at the end of the third quarter.

Philadelphia 76ers two-way contract player Rayjon Tucker led 7 Blue Cloats in double-digit scoring with 21 points, and 7 boards while former Houston Rockets guard Michael Frazier II added 20 markers off the bench.

Ignite will have one day to rest and reassert their playoff push as they next face the reeling Agua Caliente Clippers, who are riding a league-high 5-game losing streak, on Thursday, March 4. – Rappler.com
