By Osceola Magic Staff /December 31, 2025

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (Dec. 28, 2025) – The Osceola Magic (3-1) took down the Santa Cruz Warriors (2-2) 106-96 in the second game of a back-to-back at Kaiser Permanente Arena on Sunday night.  

Lester Quiñones was once again the leading man for the Magic with 26 points on 8-of-17 shooting from the field and 6-of-11 from behind the arc. Phillip Wheeler dropped 18 points off the bench.  

Malevy Leons scored 20 points for the Sea Dubs on 6-of-8 shooting from the field and pulled in nine rebounds. Chase McMillian added 15 points and was a team-high plus-13.  

Santa Cruz jumped out to an early 6-0 lead within the first few moments of the game, but the Magic were able to settle in and pick up where they left off the night before. Osceola went on a 23-6 run in the first quarter and led the rest of the game.  

Despite shooting a season-low 38 percent from the floor, the Magic still found a way to control the game by forcing the Warriors into 20 turnovers for the second-consecutive night. All nine Magic players recorded at least one steal.
