SALT LAKE CITY (Interstat) — In a stunning offensive display that defied both projections and a formidable opponent, the Rip City Remix upset the Salt Lake City Stars 138-124 in a G League contest Friday night at Bruin Arena.

The victory was a significant one for the visiting Remix, who improved to 11-9 and handed the league-leading Stars, now 16-3, just their third loss of the season. It also served as a measure of revenge for Rip City, which had lost two prior meetings to Salt Lake City in December, including a 174-146 defeat.

The most important part of the game was a decisive and overwhelming third-quarter run by the Remix that turned a competitive matchup into a commanding lead. After trailing by as many as 15 points in the first half and entering halftime with a 53-49 deficit, Rip City erupted after the break.

The Remix dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Stars 47-33. The period was defined by a blistering shooting performance and a key strategic shift that Salt Lake City could not counter. Rip City consistently found open looks from beyond the arc and in transition, methodically dismantling the Stars’ defense. The surge gave Rip City a 96-86 lead heading into the final frame, an advantage they would not relinquish.

The fourth quarter saw the Remix continue their offensive onslaught, adding 42 points to seal the victory and prevent any sustained comeback attempt by the home team. The Stars, who entered the game with a 91.2 percent probability to win according to Interstat’s ELO system, were ultimately overwhelmed by Rip City’s persistent scoring.

While specific individual statistics were not provided in the play-by-play data, the sequence of plays illustrates a game controlled by Rip City’s backcourt and wing players, who generated a high volume of assists and three-point attempts. The Remix effectively shared the ball, leading to high-percentage shots that steadily extended their lead throughout the second half.

The loss snaps a strong run of form for Salt Lake City, which had won five consecutive games. The two teams will meet again in a rematch Saturday night in Salt Lake City.

The win moves Rip City above .500 and provides momentum as they continue a road trip. Salt Lake City will look to rebound immediately and protect its position atop the league standings.
