The Savitt Gems went through a complete rebuild over the last year. Only Joe Noce and Henry Zajac
returned from the previous season (and Zajac was let go after two games.) After dropping three of their first four games, the Gems won 6 of 7 and their last seven games to finish in second place. After defeating West Haven in the league semi-finals, they would lose the championship to New London in a hard-fought three game series. Leo Gottlieb, a popular basketball star from New York City, topped the team with 14.4 point per game.
