The Osceola Magic (Orlando’s affiliate) and the Stockton Kings (Sacramento’s affiliate) will compete in this year’s NBA G League Finals, a best-of-three series that will begin on Tuesday night.
The NBAGL’s playoffs have a much different setup than the NBA’s, as only 12 teams advance instead of 16, with the top-two seeds from each conference receiving a first-round bye. The conference quarterfinals, semifinals and finals are also single elimination instead of taking place over multiple games.
Both Osceola and Stockton went 22-12 during the regular season, finishing as the top seed in their respective conferences.
Led by 42 points from Mac McClung, who is on a two-way contract, the Magic defeated the Maine Celtics to advance from the East. Out West, Stockton defeated the Austin Spurs in the conference final behind 38 points from Mason Jones, who is on a two-way deal with the Kings. Terry Taylor, who signed a 10-day contract with Sacramento last month, finished with 27 points and 10 rebounds.
Game 1 of the NBA G League Finals will take place in Osceola on Tuesday at 7 pm CT (ESPNU). Game 2 will be played in Stockton on Friday at 9 pm CT (ESPNews). If necessary, Game 3 will be next Monday in Osceola at 7 pm CT (ESPN2).
Mac McClung is a NBA player.
He isn’t because we have seen him in NBA games and he can’t get his off. NBA may lack defense of the old but McClung gets hunted due to his size. He does not play like a pg and he is not quick or skilled enough to be a sg at his height.
