Texas Legends News Release


Frisco, Tx - The Texas Legends (4-6) responded with a strong performance to secure a 113-104 victory over the Memphis Hustle (3-5) in the second game of their back-to-back series at Comerica Center. The win came in front of a sold out crowd of 6,000+ and featured standout performances from several Legends players.

Jarod Lucas led the way for the Legends, putting up a season-high 33 points while shooting an impressive 9-of-15 from beyond the arc. Tanner Holden was a force on the boards, grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds to go along with his season-high 16 points and five assists. Tyson Walker added 14 points and dished out a team-leading eight assists, orchestrating the Legends' offense.

The Hustle started strong, taking an early lead, but the Legends mounted a comeback in the second half. Texas dominated the third quarter, outscoring Memphis. The Legends also controlled the boards, outrebounding Memphis 52-44, with Jamarion Sharp contributing 15 points and eight rebounds, Max Fiedler's eight rebounds, and Warith Alatishe's all-around contributions with 14 points, eight rebounds, and three steals.

Memphis was led by DJ Steward and Yuki Kawamura, who each tallied 24 points. Kawamura also dished-out 14 assists, while Armando Bacot pulled down 12 rebounds for the Hustle. Despite Memphis's balanced attack, their struggles from three-point range (24.4%) proved costly.

With the win, the Legends snapped Memphis's momentum and split the two-game series. Texas will look to build on this victory as they prepare for their five-game road trip.

The Legends return to action on Thursday, January 23rd, as they travel to Stockton to take on the Stockton Kings. Tip-off is set for 9:00 PM CT, and the game will be available to stream on ESPN+ and Urban Edge Network. For updates and more information, visit www.TexLegends.com.
