The Canton Charge on Cavs Night fall to the Delaware 87ers 114-107. Delaware used a big third quarter and changed the momentum of the game to get the win. Canton goes to 6-8 on the season.

The Charge at one point in the first half had a 12 point lead.  However, the 87ers kept trimming the lead and Dionte Christmas hit a 38′ 3 point bank jump shot to end the first half and the Charge lead was trimmed to five.

The 87ers used a big third quarter to take a double-digit lead. The 87ers scored 37 points in the third quarter. The Charge only score 20. That was the difference in the whole game. The turnovers in third quarter certainly didn’t help the Charge as they had six in the quarter. The Charge as a whole average 16.8 turnovers per game and they had 19 tonight.
