Six players scored in double figures as the Bakersfield Jam (23-9) defeated the Los Angeles D-Fenders (13-19) 115-103 Saturday night at the Dignity Health Event Center.
Bakersfield got off to a stellar start on both ends of the court as they shot 58 percent from the field (14-of-24) in the first quarter and held Los Angeles to just 38 percent (8-of-21). The Jam's strong performance to begin the game resulted in a double digit lead to end the first (31-24), led by Damion James who had 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting. From that point on, Bakersfield kept the lead throughout the game and the closest the D-Fenders got was within nine points in the third. The Jam are now winners of six straight games and continue to be perfect for the month of February (7-0).
James scored a game-high of 21 points while also grabbing eight rebounds. Stephen Dennis also scored a game-high of 21 points to go along with three steals off the bench. James Nunnally recorded 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists as a reserve for the Jam. Brian Butch posted a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds while Jerel McNeal also scored 15 points while also dishing out five assists. Adam Koch finished with 11 points and six rebounds.
The D-Fenders were led by Morris Almond who scored 16 points off the bench. Gary Flowers and Orien Greene each had 15 points.
Bakersfield will next travel to Springfield to take on the Armor on Tuesday, February 26. Tip-off scheduled at 4:00 p.m. PST.
