CANTON, March 17, 2015 - The Westchester Knicks (10-32), the official NBA Development League affiliate of the New York Knickerbockers, took a tough loss on the road, falling 104-73 tonight to the Canton Charge (25-17), the Cleveland Cavaliers' affiliate.

The teams traded a pair of twos to start the game, but it was all Charge basketball as Canton did not give up the lead for the duration of the game.

A tough third quarter turned into an even harsher fourth for Westchester, as the team scored just 14 points. Canton mustered up 23 to take down the Knicks by 31 points, the final score 104-73.

Ben Strong led the Knicks with 25 points, a new single-game high for the center. Darnell Jackson followed with 16 points, just missing a double-double with nine rebounds. Doron Lamb finished with 11 points, while Jordan Bachynski put up an impressive 14 rebounds.

Six players saw double-digits for Canton, led by Maurice Kemp coming off the bench to produce 17 points. Charge center Alex Kirk recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds; Chris Crawford also ended with 15 points.
