Recap: OKC Blue collects sixth straight victory in 126-116 win over Memphis Hustle

The G League’s OKC Blue collected its sixth straight victory in a 126-116 win over the Memphis Hustle on Sunday. The road win improved the Blue’s record to 17-12 on the season.

This completed a mini-two-game sweep over Memphis. The Blue also won Friday’s matchup.

After the first quarter, the Blue faced a 34-30 deficit. A 42-point second frame by OKC helped it enter halftime holding a 72-62 lead. The Blue added to their lead with a 32-16 scoring advantage in the third quarter.

The Blue entered the final frame with a 104-78 advantage. The Hustle utilized a 38-point fourth quarter to close it to as little as 10 points, but the 26-point hole it had to start the final frame was too big to overcome.
