CLNS Radio not only provides you some of the best Boston Celtics coverage around, but also in an effort to partner and provide more information on the Maine Red Claws (the Celtics’ D-League affiliate), CLNS Radio will be providing listeners with more content on the first place Red Claws.
With fresh snow on the ground and cold weather taking hold of Southern Maine, the Maine Red Claws were able to put together stingy second and third quarter defensive efforts – with Boston Celtics assignee Demetrius Jackson taking over in the final stages with 10 fourth quarter points – beating the Fort Wayne Mad Ants 111-103 Sunday afternoon at the Portland Expo.
Groggy starts notwithstanding, the Red Claws were dealt a blow early on, as Abdel Nader – coming off of a near triple double of 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in Friday’s win at Long Island – exited the game after only six minutes of action in the first quarter due to food poisoning.
Fortunately for the now 15-7 Red Claws, Jackson was present to add to the scoring punch.
