A back-and-forth affair that featured 23 lead changes fell in Reno's favor, as the Bighorns (9-12) outscored Utah (13-11) 54-46 in the second half. The four-game winning streak for Reno marks its longest winning stretch of the season.

Wednesday's game also included the Bighorns debut for Yaroslav Korolev, who was acquired by Reno on Tuesday. Korolev scored two points and nabbed four rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench.

Orien Greene paced the Flash with 19 points. Bennet Davis came off the bench to score 16 and grab 10 boards for Utah.

On the night, Reno shot 90 percent from the free-throw line and pulled down 15 offensive rebounds.
