The 2025 G-League Winter Showcase was a whirlwind of players, coaches, and executives gathering in Orlando, Florida to demonstrate the often unnoticed grind that runs concurrent to the flashy lights of the NBA season on a bigger stage. For the eight teams that played in the Playoffs of the Showcase, each game was a chance to earn respect, consideration for mid-season contracts, and a piece of the $100,000 cash prize set aside for the winning team.
