PORTLAND, ME - With six different players scoring in double figures, the Maine Red Claws (22-14) were able to hold off the Erie BayHawks (13-24) for a 102-95 East Conference win in front of a sold-out Portland Expo Building.
Erie was able to pull to within three points of the lead with just 1:43 remaining in regulation, but were unable to get any closer as time winded down.

After trailing by as much as 13 points in the second quarter, Maine went on a 13-2 run starting at the 10:26 mark to cut the deficit to two (43-41). Both teams would head into the break tied at 54-all before the Red Claws opened up the second half on a 10-2 run to take a 64-56 lead.
Bay Hawks head coach John Treloar was tossed from the game for his remarks towards official Nick Buchert at the 4:50 mark in the fourth quarter after a play where Erie guard Cedric Jackson was injured and had to be helped off the court, but no foul was called against Maine.
John Bryant led all scorers for Erie with 32 points while pulling down 12 rebounds while Jackson scored 19 points before leaving the game.
