Winning can be a great reinforcement when playing a team sport like basketball.

Lakeville North had an uncharacteristic stretch where it lost three of its most recent five games as it headed into Tuesday's matchup with Eastview. But when you play in a deep league like the South Suburban Conference, challenging games fill the schedule.

Lakeville North (13-5, 8-3) found an answer when it used a late first-half run to propel itself to a 78-69 win over the Lightning. Eastview (14-4, 8-3) cut the deficit to four in the second half, but the Panthers pulled away to alter the season's momentum.
