GREEN BAY (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- Green Bay forced visiting Oakland into a season-high 27 turnovers on Thursday night, using its defense to secure the 66-54 victory at the Resch Center. Both teams shot under 35 percent from the field and under 25 percent from 3-point range, but GB (13-13, 7-6 HL) used a double-double from ShanQuan Hemphill to earn its sixth home win in seven tries at home this season.
