Iowa Wolves News Release
DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa Wolves opened its four-game homestand with a 121-116 win over the Stockton Kings on Friday night at Wells Fargo Arena in front of 3,716 fans.
Iowa (3-14) snapped a seven-game losing streak with the hard-fought victory having to fight off a resilient Stockton (14-5) squad that sits at the top of the Western Conference standings. The two teams will run it back tomorrow night at Wells Fargo Arena at 6:30 p.m. CT.
Minnesota assignee Leonard Miller scored a game-high 29 points and pulled down 16 rebounds. Miller scored the deciding basket with 12.7 seconds remaining in the game after Skal Labissiere put the Kings up 116-115 with 21.5 seconds left. Later, Miller helped seal the win a pair of free throws with 2.5 seconds on the clock.
Labissiere was Stockton's top scorer with 27 points. Former Iowa Wolve Chasson Randle scored 19 points off the bench.
Six others, including the other four starters, joined Miller in double figures for Iowa. Trevor Keels poured in 22 points off bench, and also added a pair of late free throws that helped seal the victory.
Iowa held a 22-point lead in the third quarter before Stockton came back to tie the game at 105-all after Dexter Dennis' three-pointer at the 5:03 mark in the fourth.
Iowa and Stockton traded baskets with the Wolves able to maintain the lead or keep it tied until Labissiere's three with just under 52 seconds left gave Stockton its first lead since the first quarter. Martez Brown quickly countered his three with a bucket to give Iowa the lead back setting up the exciting finish to the end of the game.
