PORTLAND, Ore. (Dec. 31, 2025) – The Osceola Magic (4-1) ended its west coast road trip with a dramatic 129-126 win over the Rip City Remix (2-3) on Wednesday afternoon at Chiles Center. Magic forward Alex Morales scored a career-high 26 points on 9-of-16 shooting from the field.

Rip City forward Blake Hinson scored a team-high 33 points, and Sean Pedulla contributed 30 points of his own. The two combined for 10 of the Remix’s 19 made three-pointers. Andrew Carr recorded a 21-point, 16-rebound double-double for the home team.

After jumping out to an early 30-24 first-quarter lead, the Magic played through a hard-fought second quarter from the Remix. The two teams each made five threes, with Osceola heading into the locker room leading 61-56, led by Reece Beekman with 10 points, four assists and two steals.

The Remix carried momentum into the fourth quarter after winning the third and led 90-89. The Magic, however, responded in force and built a 15-point lead with 2:03 left in the game. Carr would score nine points in the final minutes of the game to give Rip City a chance, but Justin Minaya hit two late free throws to ice the game and give the Magic their fourth-straight victory.
