DES MOINES, IA - The 2011 NBA D-League Champion Iowa Energy opened up season with a convincing 100-82 victory over the Canton Charge Friday night in Canton. A balanced attack, featuring six players in double-figures, helped Iowa blow open a game that was close through the 1st half.

The Energy led the game 54-50 at the half as Stanley Robinson and Andrew Drevo each scored 12 points for the visitors.

Iowa opened the 2nd half with a 9-0 run to take 63-50 lead with 9:25 left in the 3rd quarter.
