Hawks Soar Past Comets 120-102 Behind Moreau's Masterclass
Moreau Flames in 30-point Outburst as Milan Dominates Houston
HOUSTON – The Milan Hawks delivered a statement performance on Friday night, soaring past the Houston Comets 120-102 powered by a blistering offensive display. The Hawks’ sharpshooting, particularly from beyond the arc, proved too much for the Comets, who struggled to contain Milan’s diverse attack throughout the February 2026 Season contest. This victory marks a significant moment for Milan as they continue to establish themselves as a formidable force.
The Hawks established their dominance early, with Léa Moreau leading the charge. She poured in a game-high 30 points, showcasing an array of offensive weapons. The Comets, led by Marcus Thorne’s 25 points and Eva Jensen’s 17, fought valiantly, but Milan’s consistent scoring and efficient ball movement, highlighted by 28 assists and a 3.5 assist-to-turnover ratio, kept Houston at bay.
Key moments saw the Hawks connect on 21 three-pointers, a testament to their offensive execution. While Houston managed to keep the game within striking distance for stretches, Milan’s ability to respond to every Comets run, including a run of made field goals from Thorne and Jensen, ultimately sealed their fate. The Hawks’ defense also played a crucial role, tallying 8 blocks and stifling Houston’s offensive flow at critical junctures.
“We came out with the right mindset tonight, “ said Moreau post-game. “We knew we had to be sharp, and our shooters were feeling it. It’s a great team win.”
Comets forward Marcus Thorne acknowledged the Hawks’ superior performance. “They played a great game. We didn’t have an answer for their perimeter attack tonight, and they capitalized on our mistakes. We’ll learn from this and get better.”
