Nick Zeisloft played the role of the hero on Tuesday night by hitting the game-winning shot for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in their 111-110 win over the Greensboro Swarm.
The Swarm’s Xavier Munford put his team on top by four with 35 seconds left, but that merely set the stage for some Mad Ants heroics.
Alex Poythress quickly answered out of the timeout with a jump shot to cut the lead down to two before a defensive stand on the other end put the Mad Ants in position to get the win.
Fort Wayne came out of the timeout and put the ball into the hands of Zeisloft, who delivered with a 3-pointer with 5.
