ALBUQUERQUE, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Kendall Williams scored five points during a game-closing 9-2 run Wednesday that lifted New Mexico to a 65-60 win over No. 19 Nevada-Las Vegas.

New Mexico fell behind 58-56 when Justin Hawkins made a 3-pointer with 3:30 to play, but the Lobos then fought back behind a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws from Williams.
