Santa Cruz was paced by Elliot Williams, who had 23 points. Joe Alexander contributed 15 points, while Sean Kilpatrick, James Michael McAdoo, and Taylor Griffin all logged double-figures in tonight's loss.

Adreian Payne, the 15th overall draft pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, was on assignment with the Austin Spurs via the Fort Wayne Mad Ants due to the flexible assignment rule.
