Joseph scores 30 as Toros roll to win

- From staff reports

Cory Joseph scored a D-League season-high 30 points to lead the Austin Toros past the Texas Legends 110-97 Tuesday at Cedar Park Center.

Joseph, a 6-foot-3inch guard, has bounced back and forth between the Toros and their parent NBA club, the San Antonio Spurs, this season. The former Texas Longhorn made 3 of 4 three-point shots to boost Austin (6-3), which rallied from a 10-point deficit in the third quarter.

The Toros have won six of seven games in December. They will play back-to-back home games against Reno and Sioux Falls, respective­ly, on Friday and Saturday nights.

Guard Justin Dentmon added 22 points, five rebounds and four assists for Austin while his teammates Tyler Wiklerson and Patrick Sullivan both recorded double-doubles. Wilkerson finished with 15 pints and 11 rebounds, and Sullivan added 14 points and 13 boards.

Texas was lead by Chris Douglas-Roberts, who scored 24 points.
