Noblesville Boom News Release


KISSIMMEE, Fla. - The Noblesville Boom (11-6), the NBA G League affiliate of the Indiana Pacers, extended its winning streak to seven games after defeating the Osceola Magic (13-4), 129-117, for the second time this season Wednesday night at Silver Spurs Arena.

Two-way guard Ethan Thompson erupted for his second straight 30-point performance, leading the Boom with a stat line of 31 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists, shooting 6-of-15 from the field and a perfect 11-of-11 from the free-throw line. Cameron Hildreth posted a career-high 25 points, while Gabe McGlothan added 25 points, two assists, and two steals.

Javonte Smart paced the Magic with a game-high 35 points on 13-of-21 shooting, including seven made three-pointers, along with four assists and three rebounds. Lester Quinones contributed 28 points and five rebounds, Alex Morales scored 19 points, and William Baker recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

After both teams struggled to find a rhythm early, combining to shoot 5-of-19 from the field and 0-of-6 from three-point range, things began to pick up as Osceola used an 11-0 run to take a 13-point lead late in the opening period. The Boom responded with timely baskets down the stretch, including a three-pointer in the final seconds, to trim the deficit to three points heading into the second quarter. In a back-and-forth second quarter, the Boom's hot shooting helped them build a five-point lead, before a last-second three-pointer from the Magic cut the margin. Noblesville shot 55 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc in the first half to take a 66-64 lead into the break.

Defensive intensity picked up in the third quarter, with the game tied at 73-73 with 6:17 remaining. The Boom then scored 13 consecutive points, igniting a 23-6 run to seize a 17-point advantage, their largest lead of the night, powered by Ethan Thompson's 13-point quarter. Osceola responded with a five-point burst to pull within 12 points (96-84) heading into the fourth. Gabe McGlothan helped Noblesville weather a late Magic push, scoring 13 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter on 5-of-7 shooting, including 3-of-3 from three-point range, as the Boom secured their seventh consecutive victory.
