A first quarter highlighted with each team having unanswered scoring streaks, a seven-point run for the Armor and a 13-point run for Canton ended with the Charge ahead 21-16. Canton took advantage of shooting 7 for 7 from the foul line in the first quarter while the Armor missed their only two attempts. Neither team shot particularly well from the field in the first quarter – Charge (38.9 percent) and Armor (33.3 percent). Scott led the Armor first-period scoring with eight points. Jones led all first period efforts with 12 points and 5 rebounds for Canton. Early in the 2nd quarter the Charge, using quick, accurate ball movement, expanded their lead to 10 points at 6:30. Following a time out called by Armor coach Bob MacKinnon, Springfield rattled off 11 unanswered points to take a 1-point lead. Canton halted the Armor barrage on a basket by Arinze Onuaku followed up by a 3-pointer at the shot clock buzzer by Jones with 1:44 remaining in the period. At the half the Charge had built up a 5-point lead 47-42, behind Jones’ 21 points and 10 rebounds earning him his second double-double in his first two games this season. The Armor were led by Scott’s 11 points and Willie Reed’s 10. Uzoh had 5 assists by halftime. In the opening five minutes of the third quarter Canton managed to build a 9-point margin that was answered by an Armor effort to whittle the lead to 2 points with 3:32 remaining. After exchanging baskets for several transitions, and aided by a technical foul called on Reed for grabbing the net, the Charge rebuilt a seven-point lead 74-67 at the end of three periods. Mays opened the final period by scoring six unanswered points to cut the Charge lead to one. Canton managed to keep a lead until the 2:27 mark when Uzoh’s floating runner tied the game at 82. Polk’s bucket followed by Uzoh connecting on one of two free throws gave the Armor a 3-point lead with 13 seconds remaining before Agudio forced overtime. Courtesy of: masslive.com
