PORTLAND — The Maine Red Claws won their team record 28th game of the season as they defeated the Erie Bayhawks 131-106 Sunday. The sellout crowd at the Portland Expo witnessed an all-around shooting display from in the field and behind the arc, as the Red Claws never trailed the Bayhawks.

Romero Osby (14 points, six rebounds, four assists) was the man with the hot hands for Maine in the first quarter. Osby started the game strong with six points in the first four minutes. One of those first six points came off a nifty pass through two defenders from Andre Stringer. The Red Claws continued their hot streak in the first quarter with the help of Omari Johnson (19 points, six rebounds), who totaled eight of his 19 total points in the first quarter. Field goal shooting for Maine was the big difference maker in the first quarter as Maine shot 70 percent from the field.

Peyton Siva (20 points, four rebounds, seven assists) led a charge of his own in the second quarter for the Bayhawks. Siva hit 15 of his 20 total points in the second quarter, which cut some of the Red Claws lead as both teams headed into the half. Erie came close to making a comeback in the second, but the Red Claws showed one of their best team efforts as all Red Claws but one contributed points to the shooting efforts.

Looking to keep the shooting streak alive in the second half, the Red Claws let the 3s fly. Maine hit six of their 21 3-pointers in the third quarter alone, which was just one 3-pointer away from tying the team’s overall record for most three pointers in a game. The 3-point shooting frenzy was led by Tim Frazier (15 points, 12 assists), as the Red Claws hit four 3s on four consecutive trips, all assisted by Frazier.

The Red Claws will look to extend their all-time winning record as they head on the road for four consecutive games, starting Tuesday night at Grand Rapids.
