BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –&nbsp;Seven players recorded double-digit scoring outings as the Birmingham Squadron, NBA G League affiliate of the New Orleans Pelicans, rolled past the Capital City Go-Go, 126-112, on Tuesday night.



Coming off a thrilling win at home last Friday, Birmingham (10-17) got off to the start they were looking for, jumping out to a 16-4 lead with Jaden Springer scoring the team’s first eight points. Capital City (12-12) struggled from the field early, shooting just 2-of-12 from the floor and 0-of-6 from three-point range, but the Go-Go fought back and trailed only 31-28 at the end of the first quarter.



Capital City grabbed the lead inside the first minute of the second quarter—their first advantage since leading 4-2. However, the home edge did not last long, as the Squadron led for the final 8:57 of the first half. Keion Brooks Jr.’s 11 points in the quarter proved key for Birmingham, as the visitors went into halftime with a 58-51 advantage.



Birmingham came out of the break shooting lights out, converting 18-of-25 field goal attempts, including 8-of-11 from deep. The Squadron regained a double-digit lead with 10:57 remaining in the third quarter and continued to push offensively, pouring in 46 points—their most in a single quarter since Jan. 2, 2024, at Grand Rapids.



The Squadron led by as many as 30 early in the fourth quarter and prevented the Go-Go from getting back into striking distance. Seven Birmingham players went on to score at least 10 points, and the visitors completed the season sweep over Capital City with a 126-112 victory.



D.J. Carton and Trey Alexander both led the Squadron with 24 points. Carton finished one assist shy of a double-double with nine assists, while Alexander finished two assists shy with eight.&nbsp;



All five Squadron starters scored at least 17 points, and seven players recorded at least 10 points.
