Antoine Walker had 23 points (10-14 FG, 3-5 3FG) and Carlos Wheeler had 13 points and 11 rebounds as the Idaho Stampede stayed alive in the race for the 8th playoff spot with a 112-100 win against the Utah Flash (28-21) on Friday night at Qwest Arena.
The Stampede are tied with the Texas Legends and Fort Wayne Mad Ants at 23-26 - as a result of tie-breakers, Idaho will make the playoffs if they both win tomorrow against Utah and if Texas loses to the Austin Toros.
Idaho shot 54.9 percent from the field and made 10 three-pointers, while holding Utah to 41.9 percent shooting. Cedric Jackson had 17 points, eight assists and five rebounds, Joe Dabbert had 10 points, eight rebounds and both Willie Jenkins and Sean Banks scored 14 points off the bench. Idaho shot 69.6 (16-of-23) percent in the third quarter, as the Stampede stretched the lead out to 20 points with a 36-22 third quarter.
Utah was led by Jordan Brady, who was a perfect 8-of-8 from the field (3-3 3FG). Brandon Costner added 17 points and Orien Greene had 14 points, seven assists and five rebounds.
