FRISCO, TX - The Austin Spurs (5-5) swept the two-game trip to Texas with a 116-105 victory over the Legends (6-4).

Texas opened the game firing, knocking down eight straight before Austin made the board. The Legends hit their largest lead (+14) of the night in the first but finished the quarter up 32-22. Jock Landale grabbed the first points of the second with a long ball to cut the gap to single digits, and by the midway mark the visitors had tied it up. The two exchanged leads eight times in the final six minutes of the half, but Texas kicked into gear with a 10-0 run to lead 57-48 into the locker room. Knocking down 59% (and 50% outside) in the third, Austin overturned a double-digit deficit and held onto the lead through the final buzzer.

Justin Jackson led all scorers with 35 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals while Feron Hunt finished with 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. Jaquori McLaughlin added 17 points, 7 assists, and Loudon Love grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds along with 8 points, 3 assists, and 3 blocks for Texas.

Spurs' assignee Jock Landale tallied 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, and Devontae Cacok grabbed the game's only double-double of 20 points, 12 rebounds. Jayvon Graves came off the bench to add 20 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and a game-high 4 blocks.
