"I thought our ball movement has been really good the past two games," said Blue Head Coach Mark Daigneault. "That's something we've really emphasized these past two weeks and it showed tonight. Those guys are doing a good job of sharing the ball. When you share it, everybody is going to get opportunities and it's a collective effort to do that." After a back-and-forth opening frame, the D-Fenders built a nine-point lead early in the second quarter. The Blue fought back to tie the game at 45 and keep the game close before heading into halftime down 61-59.

Oklahoma City broke the game open with a 19-4 run in the third quarter and took a 99-83 lead into the fourth. Los Angeles narrowed the Blue's lead to six with six minutes remaining, but Oklahoma City fended off the D-Fenders with a late 13-5 run to clinch the win.

The Blue (2-2) controlled the paint throughout the night, outrebounding the D-Fenders 51-49 and outscoring them 68-48 in the paint. Oklahoma City secured 18 offensive boards that led to 26 second-chance points.

Los Angeles (1-7) was led by Jabari Brown with 24 points and six rebounds.
