Regular Season Round 44: Z*N.Mexico T. - Texas L. 95-94

Date: January 10, 2011
The Texas Legends dropped a nail-biter in their opening game of the 2011 NBA D-League Showcase on Monday afternoon, falling 95-94 to the New Mexico Thunderbirds in the South Padre Island Convention Centre. The Legends got off to a blistering start, running off with a 20-4 lead less than eight minutes into the game. That would be the largest lead that Texas would get in the game. After leading 30-16 through one quarter, New Mexico outscored the Legends 27-18 in the second quarter to go into halftime down by just five, 48-43. Despite out-shooting the T-Birds (48.8% to 35.7% FG; 60% to 33.3% 3-PT FG) in the opening half, the Legends held just a slight lead going into the second. New Mexico came crawling back and with 7:06 remaining in the third quarter, Stephen McDowell nailed a 3-pointer to tie the game at 56. The T-Birds would take their first lead in the game on the ensuing possession when it was McDowell again hitting a driving layup. An 11-4 run from that point would give New Mexico their largest lead at nine. Texas would fight right back and end the third on an 8-2 sprint and down just three. The fourth quarter was a back-and-forth battle that saw the T-Birds leading 95-94 with 9.6 second to go in the game and the Legends holding the basketball. Justin Dentmon drove to the hoop but slipped and lost the ball, sending the T-Birds on to the win. Neither team took great control of the basketball as the Legends committed a season-high 31 turnovers and the T-Birds turned the ball over 28 times as well. Dentmon led the way for the Legends, with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Joe Alexander added 21 points and 10 boards in the loss. *Courtesy of www.oursportscentral.com
