WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Osceola Magic (14-5) returned from the All-Star break with a 113-110 loss to Capital City Go-Go (11-10) at CareFirst Arena on Thursday night. Lester Quiñones had a team-high 22 points for Osceola on 8-of-16 from the field.

Keshon Gilbert led the charge for Capital City, dropping in 24 points on 7-of-13 from the field and knocking down two threes. Damari Monsanto contributed 20 points with five threes of his own.

Javonte Smart dropped 20 points off the Magic bench on an efficient 9-of-16 shooting from the field. Colin Castleton made his return to the court after missing the last 27 games due to a hand fracture and pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds.

Capital City came out of the gates firing on all cylinders. After leading by as many as 19 points in the first quarter, the Go-Go took a 38-22 advantage into the first break. Monsanto scored 12 points on four made threes to pace Capital City.

The Magic fought back throughout the second and third quarters and trailed by just seven points heading into the final period. Quiñones and Smart each had nine points in the fourth to help the Magic pull even with 48 seconds left. Capital City made just enough plays on both ends of the court, however, to come away with a win.
