The Sioux Falls Skyforce have set the NBA Development League record for wins in a season, getting their 39th on Tuesday by topping the Iowa Energy 125-107.
The Skyforce, an affiliate of the Miami Heat, are 39-9 with two games remaining. The previous D-League record for wins was 38, set by the Los Angeles D-Fenders in 2011-12.
Jarnell Stokes and DeAndre Liggins each scored 23 for Sioux Falls in the record-setter.
The Heat pay for and control the basketball operations for the Skyforce, who have local ownership for their off-the-court business matters. The Skyforce run a system very similar to the Heat, and Sioux Falls coach Dan Craig was a Heat assistant before taking over the D-League club this season.
