FRISCO, TX- The Texas Legends hosted the Santa Cruz Warriors in their home opener. The Legends finished with a strong fourth quarter but were unable to bridge the gap set by Santa Cruz, falling 106-114.
Ricky Ledo had 8 of his 14 points in the first quarter to rally the Legends. The lead changed 4 times and the Legends went on an 8-2 run to come back from a six-point deficit and grab a five point lead before ending the quarter in a tie. The match stayed close through the second, despite the Warriors grabbing 12 defensive rebounds to the Legends 3, but the Legends shooting went ice cold in the third. Texas hit a mere 29% overall and 14% from outside to fall behind 67-86 before the final 12 minutes. Despite a strong fourth quarter push behind a combined 21 points from Eric Griffin and Renaldo Balkman, the Legends were unable to bridge the gap, suffering their first defeat of the season.
