Cleveland Charge vs. Windy City Bulls - Game Highlights - YouTube

CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Charge (9-4) improved their perfect home record to 6-0 in a 109-107 victory over the Windy City Bulls (6-4) at the Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center on Monday night.

A Sharife Cooper free-throw with 44.7 seconds left gave Cleveland a 107-96 lead before the visitors rolled off a 9-0 run to pull within 107-105.  The Charge turned the ball over on the ensuing possession to give the Bulls a chance to tie, but Carlick Jones was forced into a tough layup attempt that didn’t fall through.  Cooper and Isaiah Mobley each split a pair of free throws on Cleveland’s next two possessions surrounding a Kostas Antetokounmpo bucket that was just enough to keep Windy City at bay.
