Calgary Drillers News Release
The Utah Snowbears ran their unbeaten streak to 19 in a hard fought 109-101 victory over the Calgary Drillers on Tuesday night at the Corral.
Utah is now 19-0 in this ABA season while the Drillers saw their record fall to 4-7.
After trailing by 13 at the half Calgary pulled to within 3 in the final minute but had to send the Bears to the free throw line and could never get closer.
Clay Tucker had 25 points and 10 rebounds for Utah. Tyrone Hayes added 24.
Calgary was led by James Penny with 24 points while DeJuan Wheat contributed 18. Brian Lewin registered 10 boards for the Drillers.
The same two teams meet on Wednesday night at the Corral and then again on Friday night in Salt Lake City. Calgary then comes home for games Sunday and Monday against Washington before heading out on a 16 day road trip.
Sunday afternoon's 2 p.m. game is a Family Four Pack Game.
Anyone buying an adult ticket in any price range will get up to three members of their family in free.
