Maine Celtics News Release
PORTLAND, ME - The Erie BayHawks (10-12) picked up some firepower on Tuesday with the assignment of Jeremy Lin and Jerome Jordan from the NY Knicks, and they did not disappoint, leading Erie to a 122-113 win over the Maine Red Claws (7-16).
Lin was the story of the night, picking up a triple-double with 28 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds in his BayHawks debut. Jordan picked up where his fellow Knick left off, with 26 points and 8 rebounds on the night. The pair led seven BayHawks in double figures. Kyle Spain picked up 13 points, Devin Green added 12, D.J. Kennedy put down 16, while Tirrell Baines and Loren Stokes each added 11.
Morris Almond had a successful home debut despite the loss, receiving a warm welcome from a home crowd hungry for some scoring power. The two-time NBADL scoring leader picked up a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds in his second game back in scarlet and white. Kenny Hayes took advantage of his additional time on the court, going 8-10 and a perfect 6-for-6 from the line for 24 on the night. Lawrence Hill added 17 points, Justin Brownlee 11 and Jerome Randle 16 despite some early foul trouble to round on the Red Claws in double figures.
The Red Claws will look to regroup Sunday as the two teams meet again for a noontime contest. The game, originally scheduled for 5 PM, was rescheduled to the earlier start time to accommodate the New England Patriots AFC Championship game.
