Texas jumped out early, holding a slight 23-22 edge after the first quarter before ramping up the intensity in the second. A 12-2 run midway through the period, sparked by back-to-back three-pointers from Jarod Lucas and strong inside play from Max Fiedler, pushed the Legends ahead. The home team took a 52-43 lead into halftime and never looked back. In the third quarter, Texas extended the advantage behind Jazian Gortman's aggressive play, outscoring Rip City 27-19 in the frame. Despite a late push from the Remix, the Legends maintained control.
Jazian Gortman led the charge with 30 points, hitting 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Max Fiedler recorded a career-high performance with 15 points, 16 rebounds, and 8 assists, dominating both ends of the floor. Tanner Holden added 22 points and 8 rebounds, while Jarod Lucas chipped in 15 points, knocking down five three-pointers.
