Vipers Ignite in Fourth Quarter Surge, Stifle Orcas 122-109

Rojas and Okada Orchestrate Late L.A. Run to Secure Victory

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Vipers staged a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback, outscoring the Vancouver Orcas 38-23 in the final frame to secure a crucial 122-109 victory. After a back-and-forth affair that saw multiple lead changes, it was a pivotal steal and subsequent offensive explosion that propelled the Vipers to their latest win in the February 2026 season.

The Orcas, led by a stellar performance from Griffin Price (18 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists), held a slim lead through much of the contest, relying on their superior rebounding and a barrage of three-pointers. Vancouver’s Cleo Vargas (15 points, 8 rebounds) and Lena Petrov (10 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists) also provided significant offensive sparks.

However, the tide turned midway through the third quarter. A steal by Leo Martinez ignited the Vipers’ offense, leading to a quick three-pointer from Zara Ali that signaled a shift in momentum. Daniel Rojas and Kenzo Okada, the Vipers’ primary playmakers, found their rhythm in the fourth. Rojas finished with 16 points and a game-high 6 assists, while Okada added 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, effectively orchestrating the Vipers’ offensive onslaught.

“We knew we had to lock in defensively and trust our offense when it came,” said Rojas after the game. “The energy from the crowd in the fourth was incredible. We fed off that.”

Vipers coach Anya Sharma echoed the sentiment. “Griffin and Lena were tough tonight, but our guys stayed composed. Daniel and Kenzo really took over when we needed them most. This is a testament to their leadership.”

The Vipers’ ability to limit turnovers in the clutch (only 8 for the entire game) proved to be a significant advantage, allowing them to capitalize on their scoring opportunities and put the game out of reach.

Key Notes:

  • Los Angeles Vipers: 28 assists on 43 made field goals (65% assist rate).
  • Vancouver Orcas: Outrebounded the Vipers 58-48, including 17 offensive rebounds.
  • Daniel Rojas and Kenzo Okada combined for 12 assists and 32 points for the Vipers.
  • Griffin Price led all scorers with 18 points for the Orcas.
