March 19, 2024&nbsp;—The Osceola Magic&nbsp;defeated the Birmingham Squadron 142-118 Tuesday at Legacy Arena.



Mac McClung posted a double-double in the victory, recording a team-high 24 points and 11 assists. “It felt good to clinch a playoff spot, it&#8217;s something to be proud of,” McClung said. “Our goal this season was to make the playoffs; now we&#8217;re hoping to secure the number one seed. We&#8217;re treating each game as a playoff game, doing our best to ensure we make all the right plays.”



The Magic made 24 three-pointers on 53.3% shooting and went&nbsp;54.9% from the floor. Meanwhile, the Osceola bench outscored Birmingham’s bench 60-22 and had eight players in&nbsp;double figures.&nbsp;



Defensively, the&nbsp;Magic limited the Squadron to a mere 30% shooting from beyond the arc&nbsp;and&nbsp;outpaced Birmingham 18-8 in fastbreak points. Osceola&nbsp;closed the game out&nbsp;on a 31-18 run and secured a playoff berth in the process.



Alex Morales had a career-high 24 points and pulled down 10 boards off the bench in the victory.



“I have to give a lot of credit to my teammates; they&#8217;re always keeping me confident,” Morales said. “Our team has so much depth. It&#8217;s great to see what we can do when we share the ball and play together. It&#8217;s a great feeling to make the playoffs this year and take that leap.”



The Osceola Magic (20-9), NBA G League Affiliate of the Orlando Magic, will face the Birmingham Squadron in Birmingham,&nbsp;Alabama, at the Legacy Arena at the BJCC&nbsp;Thursday, March 21,&nbsp;at 8 p.m.&nbsp;The game will stream on ESPN+.
