&nbsp;The Motor City Cruise continued their strong January play Saturday night, rolling past the Birmingham Squadron 127–103 at Legacy Arena to secure their first three-game winning streak of the season.



Head coach Jamelle McMillan improved to 6-0 in his career against the Squadron, as the Cruise set the tone early and never trailed.



Motor City erupted in the opening quarter, forcing eight turnovers and recording a franchise-record seven steals in the period, while racing out to a 37–20 lead. The Cruise finished the night with 11 steals and turned defense into consistent offense, outscoring Birmingham 20–15 in points off turnovers.



The Cruise were powered by a balanced effort that included two double-doubles, led by Tolu Smith, who posted 25 points and 15 rebounds for his 13th double-double of the season (combining the Tip-Off Tournament and regular season) and 30th&nbsp;of his regular season career. Isaac Jones added 19 points and 16 rebounds, giving Motor City a dominant presence on the glass throughout the night.



Motor City also showcased its depth, piling up more than 50 points off the bench. John Ukomadu scored 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting, including five 3-pointers, to lead all scorers. The Cruise shot 51% from the field and controlled the paint throughout, holding a 74–40 advantage in points in the paint. Motor City also won the rebounding battle 63–35 and scored 23 second-chance points.



Birmingham was led by Keion Brooks Jr. and Trey Alexander, who scored 20 points apiece, but the Squadron never cut the deficit to single digits after halftime
