FRISCO, TX – The Texas Legends (8-22) were defeated 113-79 by the Birmingham Squadron (12-19) at the Comerica Center on Saturday Night.

Jordan Hall tallied 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists off the bench, and Dakota Rivers put up his first career double-double putting up 12 points and grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds.
