Along with the backcourt duo of Mannion and Lin, Selom Mawugbe, Isaiah Reese and Nate Hinton recorded double-figure scoring efforts in Santa Cruz’s victory.
Jordan Poole, the G League’s second-leading scorer, was sidelined for the contest with a lower leg injury.
With the chance to tack on another mark to their win streak, the Sea Dubs will be back on the court in Orlando on Tuesday morning against the Eerie Bay Hawks.
