CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Charge (11-9) defeated the Greensboro Swarm (7-13), 110-100, at the Novant Health Fieldhouse on Wednesday Night. Cleveland’s Sam Merrill set a new Charge franchise record with 10 made three-pointers in the game.



Merrill got off to a hot start, hitting 5-of-6 three-pointers in the opening quarter for 15 points.&nbsp; A back-and-forth first half saw 21 lead changes and seven ties, as the Charge took a 58-55 lead into halftime thanks in part to 16 assists as a team on 23 made field goals.



Sam got hot again in the third quarter, hitting 4-of-5 from deep as the visitors outscored the Swarm 36-21 in the frame to build up a 94-76 lead.&nbsp; Greensboro held the Charge to just 16 points in the fourth quarter, but only hit 38% of their own shots and never could get within three possessions of their deficit.&nbsp; Cleveland has now won nine consecutive matchups against the Swarm dating back to the 2018-19 season.



Merrill finished with a season-high 32 points on 10-of-14 from three-point range with four rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes.&nbsp; Jamorko Pickett scored 25 points with eight boards, two steals and two blocks in 38 minutes.&nbsp; Sharife Cooper scored 18 points and dished out 11 assists in 33 minutes for his seventh double-double of the season.



Six Swarm players scored in double figures led by Kai Jones’s 18 on 7-of-8 from the field with a pair of blocks in 32 minutes.&nbsp; Bryce McGowens added 16 points, six rebounds and four steals in 28 minutes. The Charge will host back-to-back promotional nights at the Wolstein Center this weekend, kicking off first with Black Heritage Celebration presented by Immaculate Cleaning on Friday, February 24th at 7:00 p.m. followed by Superman: 85 Years of Heroism presented by Bertman Original Ballpark Mustard for another 7:00 p.m. tip-off against the Lakeland Magic (Orlando Magic) on Saturday, February 25th. &nbsp;
