SANTA CRUZ, CA - The Santa Cruz Warriors (27-10) held on to defeat the Raptors 905 (22-15) tonight in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, 112-109. The Sea Dubs enter the All-Star break with the NBA's best record for the first time in franchise history (.729 winning percentage).

Six Sea Dubs scored in double figures tonight, including guard Kendrick Nunn with 25 points tonight on 11-of-16 from the field (61.1 percent shooting). Warriors guard Michael Gbinije logged 16 points, his best scoring performance since November 18 against Northern Arizona (22 points).

In the second, Nunn poured in six more points to give him 12 in the half, including a thundering transition dunk, to give the Warriors a narrow 57-56 lead going into the locker room.

The Warriors went on a 10-2 run to break away from the 905 in the third quarter and take a 93-84 lead.
