The Force, who currently has their second winning streak of five-plus games this season, came back from a 15-point deficit on Monday to hand the Stockton Kings their first loss of the season by a score of 112-106.

Jamaree Bouyea led Sioux Falls (5-2) with a career-high 34 points on 11-21 FGA, six rebounds, six assists and a plus-15 plus-minus.

Mychal Mulder posted 25 points on 7-16 3PA, five rebounds and two blocks. It marked the third time in the last four games he has secured 20-plus points. Dru Smith contributed 22 points on 8-16 FGA (4-6 3PA), three rebounds, six assists three steals and a team-high plus-17 plus-minus.

The Warriors have won two of their last three games, with a 112-108 victory over the OKC Blue on Sunday being their most recent. Lester Quinones led the way with 36 points on 15-21 FGA, four rebounds and six assists.

Both teams wrap up the back-to-back on Friday at 9:00 PM CST.
