THIS TIME the collapse wasn’t costly.
Lumber Company Lakers blew yet another big lead, just not the game, having survived their latest meltdown in Thursday’s series-levelling 77-72 victory over Orange 3 Pinelands in the Co-operators General Insurance Premier League Basketball Finals at the Barbados Community College.

They were even up big in the fourth while holding what seemed an unassailable 65-50 cushion. (JM)
