BOISE — Kyrylo Fesenko and Brian Hamilton scored 17 points apiece to lead the Utah Flash to an 87-73 victory over the Iowa Energy at the NBA Development League Showcase Wednesday at Qwest Arena.

Utah is 12-8 and heads to Bismarck to meet the defending D-League Champion Dakota Wizards on Friday. Iowa's eighth consecutive loss dropped the Energy to 9-14 with the Austin Toros visiting Des Moines on Sunday.

Utah equaled its longest win streak of the season at two for the fourth time this season despite turning the ball over 28 times. The Flash won the rebounding battle 53-33 and limited the Energy to just 35-percent (26-73) from the floor.

On assignment from the Utah Jazz, Fesenko converted 6-of-12 field goal attempts and grabbed nine rebounds.

"I love this team. I love to play basketball and when we play, if we win or we lose, every game and every practice is like a celebration for me," Fesenko said.
