BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Birmingham Squadron defeated the Western Conference-leading Stockton Kings, 119-114, in overtime on Wednesday night at Legacy Arena at the BJCC on the back of a 37-point performance from guard Jalen Crutcher.

Crutcher led the team in scoring, while two-way guard Lester Quinones scored 22 and tallied 11 assists. Josh Oduro also notched a double-double for the Squadron (11-17) with 14 points and 13 boards on the night.

Crutcher nailed a three-pointer with 2.4 seconds to play to give Birmingham a 111-108 lead, but Skal Labissiere hit a triple to tie the game and send it into overtime with no time remaining.

In the first-to-seven overtime period, Birmingham scored the first five points via a dunk and three from Trhae Mitchell before Davon Reed hit the game-winning shot from behind the arc.
