OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, (Nov. 15, 2015) - The Texas Legends grabbed their first win of the season on the road against the Oklahoma City Blue 105-95 Sunday afternoon.

Dez Wells sunk a long ball seconds into the game to give the Blue an early advantage they would hold until the 10-minute mark.

Holloway paced the Legends through the first with 11 points while Brandon Ashley defended the boards with 3 rebounds and 3 blocks. The Legends went up by as many as 12 in the first half, but Dakari Johnson's 10 points helped the Blue rally within five at halftime.
