The Sioux Falls Skyforce defeated the Canton Charge 105-96 Tuesday night at the Sanford Pentagon. The game was tied at 91 apiece with just under five minutes to go in the contest, but Sioux Falls went on a 9-0 run to put the game out of reach and improve to 13-3 at home.
Sioux Falls (19-11) led 33-24 after the first quarter behind nine points from Justin Hamilton. The lead would have been only six points if not for a successful three-quarter-court shot at the buzzer from Ryan Evans. Canton (20-12) outscored Sioux Falls 28-17 in the second quarter and led 52-50 at halftime.
The score went back and forth in the second half until the late spurt by the Skyforce. Larry Drew scored eight of his 20 points in the final quarter to help Sioux Falls pick up the win over the East Division leaders.
Tre Kelley posted a game-high 25 points to lead the Skyforce. Hamilton recorded his league-leading 15th double-double of the season with 21 points and 12 rebounds while DeAndre Liggins had a solid all-around game with 19 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.
Arinze Onuaku posted 16 points and eight rebounds off the bench. Cleveland Cavaliers assignee Sergey Karasev posted 15 points behind 4-of-6 3-pointers and Kevin Jones contributed 12 points and eight rebounds.
