Maine Celtics News Release


GRAND RAPIDS - March 19, 2015 - On Tuesday, the Maine Red Claws, presented by Unum, erased a big deficit to beat Grand Rapids. Tonight, the Drive returned the favor.

Needing just one win to clinch a playoff spot, the Claws watched Grand Rapids erase an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter - the result a 110-109 victory for the Drive. Adonis Thomas (26 points) gave Grand Rapids the lead for good, and Chris Babb (15 points) missed a three at the buzzer that would have sent Maine to the post-season.

Maine (29-14) was led by a career night by Romero Osby. Both his 27 points and 12 rebounds were career highs.

The Red Claws led 100-82 with 8:54 to go in the game. From that point, Grand Rapids out-scored the Claws 28-9.

James Young, on assignment from the Boston Celtics, finished with 14 points on 4-16 shooting. Omari Johnson added 15 points off the bench, and Tim Frazier finished with 7 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Red Claws return to action Saturday night at Texas. Maine still needs just one win to secure their second-ever playoff berth. Tip-off Saturday is set for 8 p.m.
