FRISCO, TX - The Texas Legends (23-26) rolled over the Oklahoma City Blue (19-31) 139-109 Friday night in Frisco behind a triple-double effort from Chris Douglas-Roberts.

The lead changed twice in the first quarter as the Blue fought to keep up with Andre Dawkins' 13 points, but the Legends held onto a two-point advantage at the buzzer. Tomislav Zubcic started off the second with a long-ball to put the Blue ahead, but the lead was short-lived as the Legends took over for the final time with 10:36 to play in the half. Texas had three players combine for 24 points (Wilson, Douglas-Roberts, Dawkins) as they outscored the Blue 39-22.

The Legends continued to widen the gap shooting 68% overall and 75% from outside coming out of the locker room. Despite 16 fourth-quarter points from Jannero Pargo, the Blue were unable to overcome the double-digit deficit falling to a 30-point margin. Texas finished the night completing 56% and 59% from outside, with season-highs in scoring, assists, and three-pointers.

Douglas-Roberts' triple-double (20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists) was his first of the season and raised his season-highs in rebounds and assists. Micheal Eric added a double-double on the night with 12 points, 11 rebounds and Andre Dawkins had a game-high 36 points nearing a record in threes with 11-of-17. Bobby Ray Parks also added a season-high with 16 points off the bench, also adding 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.
