game is rodney vs justin.
point of rodney + justin = 47;
if justin lost the game then he must have atleast one less point than rodney.
therefore justin should not have more than 23 points . also given that justin lag by 5 points therefore justin score is 19 . on the other hand rodney point is 47-19=28.

One scored 26 points while the other scored 21 points. You determine who scored what!
