Scottie Lindsey scored 25 points and Ali Sow hit the game-winning shot as the Saskatchewan Rattlers held off the visiting Niagara River Lions 92-90 for the franchise's fourth straight win on Friday.
The River Lions were trailing by nine points when the Elam Ending target was set at 91, but surged late to tie the game at 90. Niagara's comeback bid then fell short as Rattlers' Sow scored a layup in the next play to bring the game to an end.
