The Las Vegas Bandits held off a late charge by the Trenton Stars to win their fourth consecutive game 94-92 Monday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.

The Bandits (12-7) were led by rookie guard Eddie Gill's 19-point performance. The team also got help from Mike Jones with 15 points and Damian Cantrell with 10. J.R. Henderson added a double-double with 10 rebounds and 14 points, despite shooting only 2-for-10 from the free-throw line. Doug Swenson tied his season high for points with eight.

Trenton's Ray Tutt kept the game interesting with a 24-point showing. Alvin Young pitched in with 13 and former Bandit Frantz Pierre-Louis had 10. Trenton (6-13) shot only 18 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.

The Bandits finished the first half with a 16-4 run and extended their lead to 19 in the third quarter.

Las Vegas is now 2 1/2 games behind the conference-leading St. Louis Swarm.
