Charlotte Crown vs Greensboro Groove 
Greensboro cut the deficit to 10 in the third quarter and within five in the fourth before Deja Kelly helped the Crown close it out. 
Charlotte won by seven. 
The victory keeps the Crown in second place in the UPSHOT League standings, trailing only the Jacksonville Waves. 
Eight home games ahead 
Charlotte will now play eight consecutive home games before traveling to Savannah — the longest home stretch of the season. 
The Crown is one of the founding teams in the UPSHOT League, a professional women's developmental basketball league that launched its first season in May. 
Earlier Thursday, UPSHOT Commissioner Donna Orender announced the league's first championship game will be held Aug. 29 in Jacksonville, Florida, raising the stakes as the regular season winds down. 
With second place secured and eight home games ahead, Charlotte has its best chance of the season to build its playoff case in front of local fans.
