College Park, Georgia. - The College Park Skyhawks (15-12) fell to the Osceola Magic (15-8) 120-112 in overtime in the first game of a back-to-back against the Magic.

Tyson Etienne joined Silva with 20+ points, netting a career-high 24 points on 10-19 shooting from the field and 4-10 from deep. Etienne also collected six assists, three rebounds, and two steals in 43 minutes.

Four other Skyhawks scored in double figures with Rob Baker and Brandon Randolph pouring in 19 and 14 points each off the bench, while Jordan Bowden and Miles Norris netted 13 and 12 points, respectively.

The third quarter saw more back and forth action before the Skyhawks broke open a seven-point lead to head into the final quarter, 83-76.

Led by Mac McClung who tallied 14 fourth quarter points, Osceola would rally and take the lead in the final minute, holding a five-point lead with 11 seconds remaining.

Down by three points with four seconds to go in regulation, a pair of missed Osceola free throws led to an Etienne buzzer-beating, game-tying triple from 27 feet to send the Skyhawks into their second overtime game in two weeks.

Osceola poured in a quick pair of three-pointers from Daeqwon Plowden and Queen before McClung made the game-winning layup to hit the target score of 119.
