BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Mitch McGary posted 10 points, 13 rebounds and three steals in 24 minutes, but the Oklahoma City Blue fell to the Bakersfield Jam, 102-91, on Tuesday at the Dignity Health Event Center.

Marquis Teague led the Blue with 20 points and six assists as all five OKC starters finished with double-figure scoring. Dakari Johnson totaled 17 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. JP Tokoto scored 14 points on 7-of-13 shooting and Talib Zanna finished with 12 points and six boards.

Bakersfield outscored the Blue 7-0 in the final two and a half minutes of the opening quarter to take a 25-21 lead through one period. The Jam built on its lead in the second and entered the half with a 46-36 advantage.

Oklahoma City was within seven points of Bakersfield at the 8:57 mark of the fourth, but the Jam responded with a 20-11 run to pull ahead by 17 - its largest lead of the night. The Blue used a late 13-4 burst to push within eight, but it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit.

The Blue (1-9) outrebounded the Jam 46-42.

Bakersfield (5-5) was led by Xavier Munford with 23 points and seven dimes.
