D-Fenders Turn Off Flash in Double OT

Los Angeles 130, Utah 126

OREM, Utah, Dec. 15 -- Brian Chase recorded 26 points off the bench for Los Angeles to help lift the D-Fenders past the Utah Flash for a double overtime 130-126 victory Saturday night at the McKay Events Center.

Chase converted on 6-of-12 shooting from the three-point line, his final trey putting the D-Fenders up by four with 4.4 seconds remaining in the second OT.

“He’s a terrific player,” Flash head coach Brad Jones said. “I have always been a fan of Brian Chase because he knows how to play in games like this."

The D-Fenders shot 50 percent from the field, including 12-of-32 from the arc, while limiting the Flash to 38 percent shooting.

Sean Banks put up 25 points for the D-Fenders, while Cecil Brown added 17 points off the bench.

Stephane Lasme recorded his first D-League double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Coby Karl added 17 points.

Morris Almond led the Flash offense with a D-League career-high 38 points, while James Lang and Kevin Kruger added 21 and 17 points, respectively.

Brian Jackson recorded his first double-double of the season with 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Brian Hamilton recorded his second double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds, while John Millsap doubled up with 10 points and 11 boards.

The D-Fenders return home for an afternoon matinee with the Bakersfield Jam on Sunday, while the Flash next play on Dec. 21 against the Austin Torros.
