The G League’s OKC Blue dropped a 123-106 loss to the Salt Lake City Stars on Friday. The road defeat put their record to 7-16 in the regular season.<\/p>\n
The Blue were behind from the jump. They were in a 28-26 deficit after the first quarter. The second frame was much of the same story as OKC’s 30 points didn’t help it get ahead. Despite that, it was a close contest as neither led by more than single-digit points.<\/p>\n
The Blue entered halftime in a 64-56 hole. Alas, the second half got away from them. They had 25 points in the third frame but saw their deficit balloon to double-digit points. They were behind 93-81 through three quarters.<\/p>\n
No real hope of a comeback in the fourth quarter. The Blue remained behind by double-digit points. They trailed by as many as 22 points. They scored 25 points in the final frame.<\/p>\n
The Blue shot 47% from the field and went 11-of-42 (26.2%) from 3. They shot 10-of-17 on free throws. They had 27 assists on 40 baskets. Six Blue players scored double-digit points.<\/p>\n
