Worth came back, and cut the lead to five early in the fourth quarter. Irving had other plans and quickly enlarged the gap back up to thirteen. Around the five-minute mark of the fourth, the Disciples made their assault, and it worked: they took the lead with less than three minutes left, and won the game 133-130.
