While the Philadelphia 76ers are trying to figure out what is going on on their side of the floor, the team’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, was getting things done and snapping their own losing streak.
The Blue Coats snapped a losing streak of four games on Saturday when they knocked off the Long Island Nets 111-88 at home. They were led by rookie Marial Shayok who had 22 points on 8-for-18 shooting while pulling down five rebounds. He also made four of his seven attempts from deep as he showed off a lot of his offensive skill that made him a Sixers draft pick back in June.

Along with Shayok’s big game, the Blue Coats received a triple-double form big man Christ Koumadje. The 7-foot-4 big man had 12 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 blocks while Xavier Munford had 18 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.
Philadelphia will be looking to snap their own four-game losing streak on Monday when they host Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder. [lawrence-related id=22710,22699,22692]
