The Long Island Nets lost control of the game late, giving the Westchester Knicks a one- point win in Bridgeport, Conn. Friday night. Final score: Westchester 120, Long Island 119.
In a tight game, the Knicks’ biggest lead was 14 to the Nets’ eight. There were also nine lead changes and seven tied scores and it all came down to the last few minutes.
With five minutes left, Long Island was up four, 115-111, but lost the lead soon after and couldn’t get it back. Then, starting at the 2:40 mark, with the Nets down two, things got downright frustrating for head coach Ronnie Burrell.
