FRISCO, TX - The Texas Legends (2-7) secured their first road win of the season defeating the Mexico City Capitanes (6-4) 108-92 at Arena CDMX. Emanuel Miller fueled the Legends' victory with his double-double performance, posting a game-high 32 points and 14 rebounds while shooting 12-of-19 from the field and 7-of-10 from beyond the arc.
The Legends came out strong in the first half, highlighted by Miller's offensive efficiency and Phillip Wheeler, who added 24 points and 11 rebounds. The game remained close through two quarters, with the Legends holding a slim 58-57 lead at halftime.
