BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Interstat) — The Birmingham Squadron used a dominant first half and a career performance from Trey Alexander to defeat the Windy City Bulls 134-119 in a G League matchup Sunday at Legacy Arena.

The Squadron established control early, outscoring the Bulls 72-44 in the first half. Birmingham opened the game on a 15-0 run, capitalizing on a series of Windy City turnovers and missed shots. The Bulls did not score until a Yuki Kawamura jumper with 9:06 remaining in the first quarter, by which time the Squadron had built a lead they would never relinquish.

Birmingham guard Trey Alexander was the catalyst, scoring from all levels and facilitating the offense. His early activity set the tone, contributing to the Squadron’s 33-point first quarter. Alexander’s scoring prowess continued unabated, and he efficiently piled up points throughout the contest, leading all scorers and anchoring Birmingham’s offensive execution.

Windy City, the G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, showed resilience after the break. The Bulls erupted for 43 points in the third quarter, cutting deeply into what had been a 28-point halftime deficit. A driving force in the comeback was forward Mouhamadou Gueye, who attacked the rim and provided a consistent scoring option. Guard Mac McClung also sparked runs with timely baskets, helping Windy City pull within striking distance multiple times in the second half.

However, each time the Bulls mounted a challenge, Birmingham had an answer, primarily through Alexander. The Squadron stabilized in the fourth quarter, matching Windy City’s 32 points to close out the victory. Birmingham’s interior presence, led by Hunter Dickinson and Josh Oduro, provided crucial rebounding and secondary scoring to supplement Alexander’s outburst.

With the win, Birmingham improved its season record to 20-28 across all competitions. Windy City fell to 22-26. The two teams are scheduled for a quick rematch at Legacy Arena on Tuesday.

The most important part of the game was Birmingham’s immediate and overwhelming start, fueled by Trey Alexander. The Squadron’s 15-0 run to open the game, during which Windy City committed multiple turnovers and missed its first several shot attempts, established a psychological and numerical advantage that persisted for the entire contest. This early surge, directly powered by Alexander’s steals, assists, and scoring, built a lead large enough to withstand Windy City’s significant second-half offensive push. The Bulls’ comeback attempt, while notable, was ultimately a response to the decisive edge Birmingham carved out in the game’s initial minutes.
