Raptors 905 News Release
Raptors 905 (4-10), the NBA G League affiliate of the Toronto Raptors, defeated the Maine Celtics (6-8) 115-114 Sunday afternoon in Maine. Eugene Omoruyi led the 905 with a career-high 34 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and three steals. JD Davison contributed a game-high 35 points, five rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in the loss.
The 905 opened the ball game strong, starting the first quarter on a 14-6 run before the Celtics responded with a 22-4 run of their own, eventually closing out the first quarter up 15. The 905 strung together a series of stops and baskets in the second, outscoring the home team 40-24 going into the break.
Up one at the half, the 905 continued to push the pace, extending their lead to eight going into the final frame. The two teams traded baskets throughout the fourth quarter, but Maine's late push was not enough to overcome the deficit as they dropped the last game of the Tip Off Tournament.
