Austin Spurs defeat Rip City Remix 99-93 after Harrison Ingram block with 40 seconds left

March 26, 2026

Harrison Ingram provided the game-clinching moment on Wednesday night when he blocked Javonte Cooke's drive with 40 seconds left, preserving a 99-93 win for the Austin Spurs at the H-E-B Center in Cedar Park. The stop ended a tight finish and capped a busy night for Ingram, who impacted the game in several phases.

Ingram finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds, his second consecutive double-double in a stretch with playoff implications. He battled through traffic, grabbed loose balls and battled on the glass, plays that did not always show up in the box score but that coach Jacob Chance said were central to the team's effort.

Kyle Mangas paced Austin offensively, scoring 26 points and draining five 3-pointers. His shooting helped the Spurs stretch the floor and convert in transition, part of a March surge that has kept Austin competitive late in the season.

Austin also won the rebound battle against a Rip City squad known for crashing the glass. Rip City collected 19 second-chance points, but the Spurs created extra possessions of their own and limited the Remix's ability to convert on many reset opportunities.

Chance described rebounding as a collective emphasis for the team, crediting every player who has taken part in that recent stretch. He pointed to the last 10 games as evidence that the Spurs have prioritized boards, a focus that paid dividends in Wednesday's close game.

Off the court, the result kept Austin in a three-way tie for the third seed in the Western Conference with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and the Stockton Kings, leaving home-court advantage still to be decided. Chance said keeping the showdown at home would be preferable, noting personal reasons and the support of family in town.

Austin hosts Rip City again on Friday at 7 p.m., the penultimate game of the regular season. With two games left, the Spurs aim to finish strong and improve their standing before the G-League playoffs begin.
