Raptors 905 News Release
Raptors 905 guard Davion Berry recorded an NBA Development League career-high 28 points and a franchise-high six steals in his first game against his former team as the Mississauga club defeated the Maine Red Claws 114-110 in overtime Sunday evening at Portland Exposition Building in Portland, Maine.
The first half of the opening quarter saw four lead changes and six times tied before Raptors 905 went on a 15-5 run in the final six minutes of the period to take a 35-25 lead heading into the second quarter. Maine clawed back to within seven points with two minutes remaining in the first half, but Raptors 905 enjoyed a 9-2 surge late in the period to restore a double-digit advantage and led 64-52 at the break.
The Red Claws began the second half with an 18-1 run in the first three-and-a-half minutes to erase the deficit and carried that momentum to an 11-point lead, 91-80, heading into the fourth quarter. Maine led by nine with less than four minutes to play in regulation, but a 9-0 Raptors 905 run to round out the fourth frame forced overtime, tied 105-105.
