EL SEGUNDO- The Los Angeles D-Fenders outscored the Reno Bighorns on Thursday night, but none of them felt like they won. The team lost 22-year old video coordinator Adam Cave in a fatal motorcycle accident two nights before, a reality that was understandably at the front of their minds even as they tried to focus on a basketball game.
“It’s been an extremely difficult 48 hours for us, and credit to these guys for coming out and being professional and putting it to the side for 48 minutes and really focusing on working with each other, loving each other, playing with each other,” said D-Fenders head coach Coby Karl.
