Carter's Career Night Stings Swarm

The Texas Legends (6-2) used a career night from Olin Carter III to top the Greensboro Swarm (1-7) 104-98 and split the weekend series.

The lead changed 15 times and stayed a single-digit gap on both sides.  Vernon Carey Jr. grabbed the first two baskets for the visitors and set the tone for a Swarm-dominant quarter.  Texas took the lead with a Yudai Baba dunk midway through the second, but Greensboro responded with 10 straight to regain control.
