The previous record was held by the 207-2008 Idaho Stampede, who finished that season 36-14 on their way to the 2008 D-League title.

Tulsa took an early 6-4 lead on a dunk by Oklahoma City Thunder assignee Byron Mullens before Iowa scored nine straight points to take a 13-6 lead. The Energy would never trail again in the game as they head into the D-League playoffs as the #1 overall seed.

Deron Washington led Tulsa with 21 points in the loss. Tulsa (27-22) concludes its regular season Sunday at Reno.
