Tulsa 66ers News Release
FRISCO, Texas - Byron Mullens posted a double-double with 20 points and a game-high 12 rebounds and Elijah Millsap added 19 points and a team-high six assists but the Tulsa 66ers (23-8) fell short to the Texas Legends (16-14) on the road by a 110-94 final Saturday evening in Frisco.
Also recording double figures in the scoring column for Tulsa was Robert Vaden with 16 and Marcus Lewis and Ryan Reid each with 10.
The game, played inside Dr. Pepper Arena, featured 20 lead changes and 12 ties.
Offensively, Tulsa recorded 26 assists on the evening. On the boards, the 66ers held a distinct 49-32 advantage.
Larry Owens returned to the lineup for the 66ers after a GATORADE Call-Up to the San Antonio Spurs. Owens posted six points and three rebounds. However, Tulsa was without point guard Tweety Carter for the third straight game and forward Latavious Williams for the second consecutive contest, both due to injuries.
