Five players scored in double figures for Iowa in the loss.

Chris Johnson and Houston Rockets assignee Chinanu Onuaku each scored 23 points for the Vipers. Onuaku has posted a double-double in both matchups against the Energy this season.

Iowa continues their five-game road trip tomorrow night against the Austin Spurs at 7:30 p.m. CT.
