Utah Flash News Release
RENO, Nev., Jan. 30, 2009 - Seven players scored in double figures and the Utah Flash never trailed on the way to a 118-82 NBA Development League victory over the Reno Bighorns at the Reno Events Center on Friday.
Utah improved to 14-9 by winning a game that did begin until 8:30 p.m. PST and did not end until just shy of midnight in Utah. The win was the fourth straight for the Flash and equals the franchise record. Reno dropped to 9-16 overall. The Flash and Bighorns finish the weekend double-header against the Bighorns tonight at 7 p.m. PST.
Bennet Davis scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead the Flash attack. Carlos Wheeler came off the Utah bench to score 18. Dontell Jefferson scored 17 points, dished out nine assists and grabbed seven rebounds despite not playing at all in the fourth quarter. Ryan Diggs and Gavin Grant chipped in 12 and 11 points respectively for Utah. Andre Ingram and Eddie Ard had 10 apiece.
The Flash, who led by as many as 47 points in the fourth quarter, shot 56-percent (45-80) from the floor and outrebounded Reno 58-31. Seemingly hitting its stride offensively, Utah is averaging 120.5 points over its last two games and 114.7 over the four-game winning streak.
