BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –&nbsp;The Birmingham Squadron, NBA G League affiliate of the New Orleans Pelicans, defeated the Capital City Go-Go, 122-116, on Saturday night, as second-year forward Josh Oduro set a career-high 26 points.



After missing last Sunday’s game due to injury, Birmingham (6-15) big men Hunter Dickinson and Josh Oduro returned to the lineup on Saturday and made an immediate impact, combining for 15 points in the opening 12 minutes. Birmingham’s&nbsp;paint dominance would continue throughout the period as they took a 27-19 advantage.



Capital City (10-8) began the second quarter on a 9-0 run, but the Squadron’s outside shooting took over, as they converted .500 from the field and from three-point range. With a 38-point period, Birmingham went into the break holding a 65-46 advantage.



The Go-Go earned the fast start to the second half they needed, cutting the deficit to single digits midway through the third quarter. However, Birmingham regained a 13-point lead heading into the fourth largely due to a Josh Oduro 10-point period.



Birmingham appeared to be in complete control, but Capital City trimmed the margin to 101-96 with 8:03 remaining—their smallest deficit since early in the second quarter. The Squadron responded by continuously knocking down big shots to maintain at least a two-possession lead. Holding a 120-115 advantage with 1:34 to go, Birmingham then suffocated Capital City defensively, not allowing another field goal en route to a 122-116 victory in the nation’s capital.&nbsp;



Josh Oduro recorded his sixth double-double of the season with a career-high 26 points and a season-high 12 rebounds. He also tied a career-high with 10 field goals made.



DJ Carton led the Squadron in points for the fifth time this season, scoring 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field. He also dished out seven assists and grabbed four rebounds.
