SAN ANTONIO (Interstat) — The Austin Spurs used a dominant second-quarter surge and a balanced scoring attack to pull away from the Texas Legends for a 104-95 victory in a G League matchup Wednesday afternoon at Frost Bank Center.

The game turned decisively in the second period. After a tightly contested first quarter that ended with Austin leading 23-22, the Spurs erupted for 30 points in the second frame while holding Texas to 22. A key 12-0 run midway through the quarter, fueled by transition opportunities and forced turnovers, stretched a narrow Austin lead to double digits. The Spurs’ offensive efficiency was stark, scoring 104 points on just 103 possessions for an offensive rating of 101.3, while the Legends managed only 95 points on 106 possessions, an offensive rating of 90.0.

Stanley Umude led all scorers with 25 points for Austin, adding five rebounds. Kyle Mangas provided a critical spark with 22 points, including four 3-pointers, and five rebounds. Jayden Nunn, a shooting guard from Flint, Michigan, chipped in 17 points, while Harrison Ingram controlled the glass with 13 rebounds and dished out six assists.

For Texas, Dalano Banton shouldered the offensive load with a team-high 25 points and nine assists. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl recorded a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds. The Legends’ interior defense was formidable, blocking 13 shots, led by 7-foot-5 center Jamarion Sharp, who swatted seven attempts and grabbed nine rebounds.

Despite the shot-blocking presence, Austin’s offensive execution and ability to capitalize on Texas’s 16 turnovers proved the difference. The Spurs also won the rebounding battle 55-53 and were more effective from beyond the arc, hitting 9 of 30 attempts compared to Texas’s 7-of-31 shooting from deep.

The loss drops Texas to 13-19 on the season, while Austin improves to 22-8, solidifying its position among the league’s top teams. The Spurs had been projected as heavy favorites with an 89.10 percent probability to win according to Interstat’s ELO system.

The most important part of the game was Austin’s second-quarter blitz. Trailing by one after the first, the Spurs opened the period with a 3-pointer from Trey McGowens and never relinquished momentum. Their defense tightened, generating steals and converting them into easy baskets, while their ball movement created open looks. This stretch established a lead that Texas, despite several pushes in the second half, could never overcome, as Austin consistently answered every Legends run with timely scores to secure the nine-point win.
