The Canton Charge looked to bounce back after Tuesday’s loss, but instead, the Charge dropped to the Grand Rapids Drive 114-107.

The Grand Rapids Drive now go onto win the season series against the Canton Charge 3-0. Grand Rapids now goes to 15-16 on the season the Charge fall to 16-13 on the season.

The NBA D-League is all about highs and lows during the season and the Charge in a low right now, especially after blowing a 19 point lead in the second half, mainly at the start of the third quarter. What struck me the most was how Quinn Cook in the third quarter chucked about five three pointers that did not go in.
