Japanese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Japanese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Intuitively, I would guess it's 「いってんさ」, but I could image 「いちてんさ」just as well.

For bonus points: is there any reference or dictionary that explains the pronunciation of numbers with counters (beyond the obvious ones taught in beginner's courses)?

I believe it's いってんさ as you said.

I also believe it is いってんさ。

It means a one point difference (or gap)

一点、二点 etc ＝one point, two point etc

差＝difference, eg 差がある＝there is a difference or gap.

Possibly

てんさ／点差 | the difference in points

is more common than 一点差　（？）eg:

2点の点差で負けた｜We lost the game by two points.

ライオンズは点差を広げた｜The Lions widened their lead.
