Sioux Falls Skyforce News Release


Game #40 / Home Game #21 / CBA Game #162

Hottest CBA Team The Gary Steelheads are currently the hottest team in the CBA as they have won 12 of their last 16 games since the All-Star break, including nine straight before last night's 123-120 (4.5, 2.5) setback at Rockford. They are 25-16 and averaging a league-leading 4.13 quarter-points per game.

Last Meeting The Steelheads have had a bad taste in their mouths since the last time these two teams met and are looking for revenge tonight. The reason for the bad taste was the Force's dramatic come-from-behind victory at Gary back on January 28th. The ‘Force trailed 77-56 going into the final quarter and outscored the Steelheads 50-23 to win the game 106-100 (5, 2).

Graham Re-Signs With Cavs Former Skyforce forward Stephen Graham signed his second 10-day contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers this past Monday and is one step closer to signing permanently with an NBA team. Graham has played in four games with the Cavaliers and is averaging 3.5 points on .467 (7-15) shooting and 2.3 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game. He scored eight points and set career-highs in rebounds (five) and minutes played (26) vs. San Antonio on Feb. 13. He was signed to a 10-day contract by the Cavaliers on Feb. 6. After this current 10-day contract expires, Cleveland must either sign Graham for the rest of the regular season or release him.
