Claws looking to build on their division lead

Maine goes for its sixth consecutive victory when it hosts the last-place Springfield Armor.

From staff reports

PORTLAND - The Maine Red Claws bring their five-game winning streak into the Portland Expo on Monday afternoon for a 1 p.m. game with the Springfield Armor.

CLAWS THIS WEEK

MONDAY: Springfield at Red Claws, 1 p.m.

THURSDAY: Red Claws at Springfield, 7 p.m.

FRIDAY: Santa Cruz at Red Claws, 7 p.m.

Maine is already 3-0 against the Armor this season.

The Red Claws (15-8) lead the NBA D-League's East Division, while Springfield (6-14) is in last place.

Maine has been energized by the return of forward Chris Wright from the injured list (concussion) and the addition of veteran point guard Andre Barrett.

Springfield is led by forward James Mays (17.3 points, 10.5 rebounds per game).

The Red Claws are coming off back-to-back home wins Friday and Saturday against Iowa.
