The Columbus Wizards fell to the Lebanon Leprechauns 131–124 on Sunday, as Lebanon’s offensive execution—led by a commanding performance from Antwaan Cushingberry—proved to be the difference.


Lebanon’s offense operated with precision throughout the night, finishing with 39 assists on 52 made field goals, consistently creating high-quality looks and controlling the pace.


At the center of it was Antwaan Cushingberry, who delivered a signature performance with 33 points and 14 assists, dictating the game as a true floor general while scoring at all three levels.


For Columbus, Mat Bingaya responded with a performance of his own, pouring in a game-high 36 points while knocking down five three-pointers. He carried the offensive load for extended stretches, creating his own shot and keeping the Wizards within striking distance.


Inside, Josiah Fulcher and Malik London imposed their presence on the glass, each recording double-doubles. Fulcher finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds, while London added 19 points and 12 rebounds, giving Columbus a physical edge in the paint.


Jay Farrow added 15 points and 10 rebounds, continuing his all-around impact, while Jaiveon Eaves contributed 15 points and 6 assists, working to keep the offense organized against a high-pressure defensive effort.


Columbus dominated the boards with a 75–54 rebounding advantage, but turnovers ultimately limited their ability to take control. The Wizards committed 26 turnovers, allowing Lebanon to capitalize in transition and maintain offensive rhythm.


Lebanon matched its playmaking with efficient scoring across the lineup. Kavon Bey delivered 24 points on 12-of-16 shooting, finishing efficiently around the rim, while Joe Rush added 16 points, providing consistent secondary scoring.


But the difference wasn’t just scoring—it was control.


Cushingberry set the tone, Lebanon executed, and Columbus was forced to play from behind the flow of the game.


With the loss, the Columbus Wizards fall to 6–6 on the season, as they continue through a demanding stretch.
