SALT LAKE CITY (January 15, 2026) —&nbsp;The Salt Lake City Stars fell to the Austin Spurs 121-118 at the final buzzer on Wednesday night, closing out the doubleheader series. Austin swept the two-game set and took a 2-0 lead in the season series, while the loss dropped the Stars to 4-6.



Austin opened the game with efficient offense, building an early lead and taking a 59-50 advantage into halftime. Salt Lake City responded out of the break with a quick 9-3 run, tying the game at 62-62 at the 9:50 mark of the third quarter. The Stars stayed in front through much of the second half, but the Spurs rallied late and connected on a buzzer-beating three to seal the victory.



Jazz two-way big man Oscar Tshiebwe led the Stars with a team-high-tying 21 points (7-10 FGM) and a game-high 16 rebounds (10 OR, 6 DR), recording his 12th double-double of the season.
