Osceola Magic News Release
EDINBURG, TX. - The Osceola Magic (6-3) finished the Texas leg of its road trip with a 113-108 loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers (4-5) on Monday night at Bert Ogden Arena.
Daishen Nix led the charge for the Vipers with a near triple-double with 27 points, nine assists and nine rebounds. Kevon Harris had 17 points while Efe Abogidi pulled in a game-high 13 rebounds.
Magic forward Jamal Cain scored a season-high 37 points, his second straight 30-plus-point game. Orlando Robinson recorded his fourth double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Osceola and Rio Grande Valley played tight through the first half, with the Magic holding onto a slight 59-58 lead heading into the locker room. However, the team would struggle shooting in the second half.
The Vipers outscored the Magic 32-22 and led by as many as 13 points in the third quarter. Osceola would claw their way back into the game and cut the deficit to one possession on multiple occasions down the stretch. But it was the home team that would hold on for the win.
