James Young had another big night for the Maine Red Claws. Young put in 31 points as part of Maine’s 110-106 win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants tonight in Portland. Marcus Smart, who was also assigned to the Celt’s D-League squad earlier today, struggled with his shooting tonight. Smart went 1 of 12 from the floor (0 of 8 from downtown) and finished with 6 points. Smart’s shooting numbers however aren’t really important. The trip to Maine was more so a chance for him to get some minutes as he continues to work his way back from last month’s ankle injury. Dwight Powell put in 21 points for the Claws.
All three will most likely be recalled to the big squad tomorrow according to ESPN Boston. Here’s video, courtesy of the DLeague, of James Young’s performance, as well as the entire game if you need a Celts’ fix before tomorrow’s game with the Lakers…
