The Energy, concluding a difficult three game road trip, took a 6-4 lead early in the first quarter on a turnaround jump shot by Anthony Tolliver and never gave the lead back to Utah. Iowa made 20 of 23 free throw attempts and only turned the ball over 13 times on the night.
Utah, who entered the game tied with Idaho for 1st place in the D-League's West Division, were led by

veteran Ronald Dupree, who finished with 22 points.
Iowa moves to 19-10 on the year, and extends their Central Division lead over Dakota to 1.5 games.
