GREENSBORO, NC - The Texas Legends (16-34) cut a 22-point gap to five points in the fourth quarter but were unable to seal the comeback falling 97-107 to the Greensboro Swarm (26-26) in the season finale.

Greensboro responded with a 10-2 run of their own and closed out the visitors using an 11-point performance from JP Macura.

Xavier Rathan-Mayes led the Legends with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists while Xavier Johnson added 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. Trahson Burrell came off the bench for 17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals, and Vander Blue tabbed 9 points while matching Rathan-Mayes' team-high 10 rebounds.
