OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma City Blue (4-6) fell to the Texas Legends (7-5), 128-115 on Sunday night.

After a mostly even first quarter, the Legends outscored the Blue 40-25 in the second quarter. Texas wouldn't relinquish its double-digit lead for the rest of the game.

DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell led Oklahoma City with a career-high and game-high-tying 30 points to go along with six rebounds.

"I want to give credit to the Texas Legends, I thought they were the better team for 48 minutes tonight," Head Coach Grant Gibbs said. "We need to learn the effort and concentration it takes for 48 minutes to win games, and rest and get ready for the rest of the week."

Thunder assignment player Deonte Burton shot 10-of-16 from the field, finishing with 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Fellow assignment player Justin Patton was one point shy of a double-double, finishing with nine points, a team-leading 10 rebounds and four blocks.
