Your Lightning's power outage continues

The Los Angeles Lightning, our start-up franchise in the International Basketball League, still is looking for its first victory.
This time, Lamond Murray was back in the lineup, but the Lightning fell to 0-6 after a 121-107 loss to the Las Vegas Stars on Saturday night at Cal Lutheran's Gilbert Sports Arena in Thousand Oaks.
The Stars, who have gained their first two wins of the season against the Lightning, outshot L.A. 61.9 percent to 34.6 percent in the fourth quarter and overcame a four-point Lightning lead entering the final 12 minutes.
Ronell Mingo led the Lightning with a season-high 27 points and 11 rebounds. Murray, the former Clipper, added 22 points and 16 boards while Fred Vinson had 22 points, shooting 6-of-9 from 3-point range. Vinson also had seven assists. Wayne Oliver had 19 points (on 9-13 shooting) and seven rebounds.
The Lightning will take a break, then continue its 12-game homstand on May 16-17 against the Holland (Mich.) Blast.
