POSTSEASON: Postseason play in the D-League begins the week immediately following the April 14 conclusion of the regular season. The top three teams from each division earn a chance to play in the sudden-death format. The second and third seeds from each division will open play, with the winners of those games meeting the top seeds. Those winners will play a one-game, winner-take all for the league title. The five games will be played at the site of the highest seeds.
THEY SAID IT: "I don't think my game is that complicated. If I'm open I try to hit shots, and if I can get guys involved that's what I like to do. I get just as excited about dishing the ball to somebody as I do about making a bucket." ... Arkansas guard JR Pinnock talked about his game with Draft Express.
