Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Economedes to victory, but perhaps none more so than Nathaniel De La Garza, who scored 17 points along with three steals. That makes it 14 consecutive games in which De La Garza has scored at least 25% of Economedes' points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jesse Carreon, who scored six points along with five steals.
