The Osceola Magic (3-5) mounted a valiant comeback after trailing by as many as 17 points, but ultimately fell to the Sioux Falls Skyforce (5-4) in a hard-fought 113-102 battle on Saturday night.

The Skyforce were led by Josh Christopher, who delivered a standout performance with a 29-point, 10-rebound double-double, helping his team secure the victory.

For the Magic, Mac McClung was the driving force, scoring 24 points on an efficient 9-of-16 shooting. Ethan Thompson added a strong all-around performance with 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 steals, while Colin Castleton notched his second-consecutive double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Despite trailing by 10 points at halftime, the Magic showed resilience, briefly taking a four-point lead late in the third quarter. However, a late surge by the Skyforce in the final frame proved too much to overcome.
