It wasn’t the ending the Blue Coats hoped for, but team leaders say just making it to the championship game should help draw more fans to home games next season.
The Wilmington-based affiliate of the 76ers fell short in Thursday night’s G-League championship game in Orlando, Florida. Despite the 97-78 loss to Florida’s Lakeland Magic in the championship, the Blue Coats had a strong run in the abbreviated season, compiling a 10-5 record after starting the season with seven straight wins.
