Oklahoma City Blue Outlast Memphis Hustle in High-Scoring G League Affair
SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (Interstat) — The Oklahoma City Blue defeated the Memphis Hustle 125-115 in a G League game Sunday at DeSoto Civic Center, avenging a loss from the previous night.
Oklahoma City built a commanding early lead with 37 points in each of the first two quarters and never trailed. Memphis cut the deficit to single digits multiple times in the fourth quarter but could not complete the comeback.
