They snuck past the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ar\/magazine\/magazine-rattlers\/basketball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Magazine Rattlers<\/a> with  a  44-39 win. That&#8217;s the second time they&#8217;ve managed to beat them this season, as they also won  60-54  back in December of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\"> Despite the loss, Magazine still got an impressive performance from  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ar\/magazine\/magazine-rattlers\/athletes\/alan-downs\/?careerid=ha5albg6od988\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Alan Downs<\/a>, who  posted 17 points.

That&#8217;s provided a nice bump to their 19-8 record  this season. As for Magazine,  the  loss snapped their winning streak at four games  and leaves them with a 15-12 record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Scranton has  already played their next  game (against Wonderview), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
