Iowa Wolves News Release


CLEVELAND - Helped by 21 team three-pointers, the Cleveland Charge shot past the Iowa Wolves on Tuesday night in a 131-118 victory at the Wolstein Center.

Cleveland (6-4) was paced in scoring for the second-straight game by RJ Nembhard Jr. who scored a team-high 23 points. Iowa (4-4) was led by Vince Edwards who finished with a season-high 27 points. Brian Bowen II and Isaiah Miller each added 16 points while Bowen II pulled in 11 rebounds for his second double-double this year. Chris Silva recorded his third consecutive double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Iowa held a 30-25 lead after one quarter and extended its advantage to 34-25 after a dunk by Jordy Tshimanaga and a layup by Isaiah Briscoe. However, Cleveland ripped off a 14-2 scoring run that gave it a lead they never relinquished the rest of the night.

Later, Iowa fell behind by 17 points midway through the third quarter but fought back to within two points at 86-84 after Edwards' three with 1:03 on the clock. Cleveland though closed with a 7-2 scoring spurt to take a 93-86 lead into the fourth. The Charge built another double-digit lead early in the fourth before the Wolves got within four points after a two-point free throw by Bowen II. But a nearly two-minute-long scoring drought by Iowa helped Cleveland pull away and hand the Wolves their third-straight loss.

Brandon Sampson (13), Matt Lewis (11) and Tshimanaga (10) also recorded double figures for Iowa, which played with out point guard McKinley Wright IV.

Iowa stays on the road as it visits the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the G League affiliate of the Indiana Pacers, on Friday, Dec. 10. Tipoff in Fort Wayne is set for 6 p.m. CT.
