BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –&nbsp;The Lakeland Magic (1-1) spoiled the home opener for the Birmingham Squadron (0-1) on Sunday afternoon at Legacy Arena at the BJCC with a 130-122 victory.



Forward Jay Scrubb led the Magic in scoring with 28 points while also tallying seven rebounds and three assists. As a team, the Magic shot 57.6% from the field and 50% (13-of-26) from behind the arc.&nbsp;



Fifty-four percent (70) of Lakeland’s points came in the paint and the Magic notched 21 second chance points.



Birmingham shot 54.1% from the field and 35% from deep, with Kelan Martin leading the way with 37 points, a mark that is the second-best single game scoring total in Squadron history.&nbsp;



The Magic led by as many as 18 in the first quarter before Birmingham narrowed its deficit to seven, 34-27, at the end of the first. The Squadron knotted the score at 50 apiece before Lakeland stretched its lead once again, this time to 10, 68-58, at the halftime intermission.&nbsp;



The Squadron outscored Lakeland 64-62 in the second half but never led after halftime as the Magic pulled away for a 130-122 road win.&nbsp;
