scored 26 points and had 4 steals off the bench, and Roger Powell picked up 24
points and 7 rebounds for the Lightning. Starting guard Marlon Parmer led the team

Rockford took 6.0-quarter points in the victory for the sixth time this season
winning the first and second quarters by one point each. Kenyon Gamble won the
first quarter on a sky-hook with 1.6 seconds remaining on the clock. The second
quarter was won on a Powerful dunk by Lawrence Nelson with 3.1 seconds on the

back in the fourth quarter after trailing by 12 at the start to take the lead with
20 seconds remaining on a basket by Michael Joiner. Ronnie Fields drove to the
lane, stopped near the baseline, turned and hit a signature fadeaway jumper over a
Patroons defender to put the Lightning up 128-127 with 5.8 seconds left on the

Lightning defenders in his face.
