Bighorns Update: Reno Climbing Rankings

The Reno Bighorns have played well of late – winning 6-of-10 contests and three of their last four to put them in second place in the Pacific Division.

Ledo and Green Lead Reno Over OKC
Erick Green is the NBA D-League’s second-highest scorer, averaging 28.4 points per game. He improved that number in the Bighorns win over the OKC Blue, who had Thunder players Cameron Payne and Mitch McGary on assignment. Meanwhile, Ricky Ledo sits seventh in the NBA D-League in scoring and contributed 29 points of his own. Both Green and Ledo outscored the duo of McGary and Payne and led Reno to a 116-109 victory.

Stockton Impresses

Although not the team’s leading scorer, point guard David Stockton controlled pace and led the team with a plus/minus rating of plus-20 in a win over the Texas Legends. Stockton ended the night with 23 points, six rebounds and five assists while Vincent Hunter added a monster 17-point, 15-rebound line of his own. Reno tallied their third straight win with the 130-122 win over Texas.

Vincent Hunter Shines

On a night where the team needed offense, small forward Vincent Hunter had a breakout night – one in which he scored 31 points on an efficient 10-of-13 shooting. Hunter’s 31 led all scorers in the game and his aggressiveness throughout, as exemplified by his 15 free throw attempts, kept Reno close. Despite the big game, however, Reno fell for the first time in four games versus Texas by a score of 124-111.
