Stampede runs past Flash

BOISE — Luke Jackson notched 24 points, and five players reached double-figures in scoring as the Idaho Stampede picked up a 104-96 NBA Development League victory over the Utah Flash Saturday night at the Qwest Arena.

The Stampede, who split the weekend series with the Flash, regains sole possession of the first place spot in the West Division with the victory.

"It's a battle every time we meet Idaho." Flash head coach Brad Jones said. "The three remaining games we have against the Stampede this season could prove to be valuable in the race for first place."

The Flash (19-13) will travel to Albuquerque for a showdown with the Thunderbirds on March 6.

They'll then return home for an eight-game homestand. Idaho (22-14) will return to action March 9 on the road against the Flash.
