With their win on Thursday night, the Green Dot Ballers secured the number one seed for the summer playoffs. GDB won a three-way tiebreaker due to its better point differential in head to head games versus Self Check (-4) and G-Men (+19). G-Men squeaked out a three point win over Self-Check, which dropped them to the third seed. It marks the third time in franchise history that the Ballers have won the regular season sprint that is summer session, joining 2010 and 2017. However, the #1 seed is no guarantee, as both of those seasons ended in losses. While the Ballers have had great success during the more competitive winter sessions, the Ballers have won just one Summer League tournament title (2011) which they did as the #2 seed.
So the Ballers should take heed and ensure they are focused on getting the job done during their semi-final matchup. They will either find themselves up against the young team of LA Stars looking for redemption against the teams ahead of them or a quick rematch against a Kearney team that gave them a big scare in the regular season finale.
