In the second Texas fought back, coming within two points of the Stars lead (42-40) midway through the frame on a layup from second-year guard Jazian Gortman. Despite closing the gap and shooting 72.2% from the field in the quarter, the Legends would remain unable to overcome the Stars advantage, as the Stars took their 60-58 lead into the break.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Salt Lake City’s most impressive quarter of the game would come in the third, where the team shot 63.6% from the field and 66.7% from three. Thomas and Justice would lead the team’s efficient offense, combining for 22 points on a perfect five-of-five shooting effort from downtown. The third quarter would close with a free throw from rookie guard Max Abmas, as Salt Lake City took a 99-95 lead in the final frame.&nbsp;



In the fourth, the Stars would claim their largest lead of the game (114-97). Despite the Legends’ attempts to close the gap, Salt Lake City would remain out of reach, taking a 14-point quarter from guard Dereon Seabron to the finish line. With a record-breaking night from Tshiebwe, a 30-point scoring effort from Thomas, and a turnover ratio of plus 15, the Stars defeated the Legends, 138-130.&nbsp;
