GREAT FALLS — The Great Falls Electric of The Basketball League shook off a late surge from Western Conference foe Tri-Cities to get a 119-107 victory Friday night at St. Patrick's Academy.
WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS:
After the first quarter, the Electric led by seven and would lead by as much as 19 in the game. But then in the fourth, the Sun Devils went on a run and cut the margin to as little as three with under eight minutes left.
But the Electric responded and would create enough room to hold on for the 12-point win.
Leading the way for the Electric was Emmaunel Izunabor, who contributed a team-high 35 points. Deon Lyle, the team's leading scorer, contributed 30 of his own.
Montana State Billings product and Livingston native Brendon Johnson, a newer addition to the Electric, dropped in five points.
This was the first of six matchups between Great Falls and Tri-Cities this season, and the two will meet again Saturday at 7 p.m.
