“They were with the Nets, but they weren’t playing in games. And with the way the NBA schedule is right now, there weren’t even practices going on,” MacKinnon said. “To get back into game action, it’s an adjustment, it’s almost like you’re re-learning how to play hard and how to play consistently hard. I think (Horner’s) doing a fantastic job of re-learning that.” Ahead by two points at halftime, the Armor put the game away by outscoring the Charge 20-5 in the first seven minutes of the third quarter. Foote and Jordan Williams had blocks on Canton’s first two possessions of the second half, setting up a theme that would repeat itself. The Charge made just 4 of 16 shots in the third as a two-point Armor advantage ballooned to 17. NOTES: Canton’s Dante Milligan, a 6-foot-9 forward and former University of Massachusetts player, is ranked fourth in the D-League in rebounds, averaging 9.4 per game. He had seven rebounds and a block against the Armor ... Bobby Marks, assistant general manager of the Nets, attended to watch Jordan Williams and several other Armor players.
