Maine Red Claws forward James Young had 26 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Red Claws to victory over Raptors 905 for a second straight evening Friday, this time 112-93 at Portland Exposition Building in Portland, Maine. Maine (3-1) also edged Raptors 905 (0-4) 109-104 Thursday night in the Mississauga club's inaugural home game at Hershey Centre.

A two-point game in Maine's favour after one quarter, the Red Claws expanded their lead in the second quarter to take a 46-34 advantage into the half. Maine widened the gap to 21 midway through the third quarter, but then Raptors 905 stormed back with a 20-6 run in the final five minutes of the frame to reduce the deficit to seven heading into the final period. That's as close as Raptors 905 would get, as the Red Claws shot 61.9 percent (13-for-21) on field goals in fourth quarter to seal the win.

In addition to Young's game highs in points and rebounds in his double-double effort, Maine had double-digit point totals from Omari Johnson (17), Jordan Mickey (17), Terry Rozier (16) and Coty Clarke (12). Jay Harris led the way offensively for Raptors 905, with a team-high 20 points off the bench, 13 of which came in the third quarter and all of which came in the second half. Melvin Johnson also had 15 points off the bench, while Scott Suggs (18) and Bruno Caboclo (15) also reached double-digit points on the night. In addition, Caboclo had a team-high 11 rebounds - all defensive - for his second double-double of the season.

The Red Claws led Raptors 905 in field goal percentage (43.3-41.1), three point percentage (36.4-28.6) and free throw percentage (85.7-68.8), while Raptors 905 topped Maine in points in the paint (46-38) and fast-break points (9-6). Both teams had 11 second-chance points.
