2025 RBA Playoffs Game 5

SGA and Texas Longhorns steal Game One from Nevada

     Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was tonight’s player of the game.  He had 36 points on 13 of 28 shooting.  He also had 10 rebound and 7 assists.  Texas takes Nevada by storm and steal Game One by a score of 104 to 98.  Fellow Longhorn, R.J. Barrett also had a double double.  He scored 21 points to go along with 11 rebounds and 7 assists.

     For the Gamblers, star center, Victor Wembanyama was in afoul trouble for most of the game.  He only played 17 minutes, but still did score 21 points to lead his team.  Jalen Williams also chipped in 19 points.  Next up is Game Two, and technically a ‘must win’ scenario already for Nevada.
