HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jan. 12 -- For the second consecutive night, the Huntsville Flight doubled their opponent's fourth-quarter production, outscoring the Mobile Revelers 32-16 in the final period to win their fifth consecutive game 73-67 Saturday at the Von Braun Center.

The win marked the seventh in eight games for the Flight (12-13) while Mobile (16-9) dropped its second game in three tries.
