The Austin Toros came out strong Friday night winning game one of their double header against the Tulsa 66ers 104-91 at Cedar Park Center.
The Toros' Myck Kabongo led all scorers with 19 points, four rebounds and five assists. Four Toros scored in double-digits including Eric Dawson who earned his ninth double-double of the season with 14 points, 10 rebounds, Josh Howard (16), Charlie Westbrook (16), and Flip Murray (14).
Tulsa was paced by Mario Little with 15 points and five rebounds. Maurice Sutton contributed a double-double with 12 points and 16 rebounds. Rodney Bartholomew and Andre Roberson (on assignment from Oklahoma City Thunder) both chipped in 13 points.
The Toros led by as many as 19 points in the first half, but Tulsa's Rodney Bartholomew, who scored 11 of his 13 points in the third quarter, helped keep the 66ers in contention. In the final quarter, the Toros shot 60% from the field to outscore the 66ers 30-20 for the win.
Game two action tips-off at noon tomorrow as the Toros (11-14) will attempt to top the 66ers (9-18) and get the weekend sweep.
