The Maine Celtics' impressive winning streak has come to an end! After a thrilling run, their nine-game streak was brought to a halt by the Capital City Go-Go in a recent NBA G League showdown. Let's dive into what happened.
Skal Labissiere, a seasoned NBA player with five years under his belt, was a force to be reckoned with, scoring 20 points and securing 10 rebounds for the Go-Go. This performance helped them clinch a decisive 111-77 victory on Friday afternoon in Washington, D.C., effectively ending the Celtics' streak.
But here's where the details get interesting: Maine's shooting accuracy was significantly off. They managed only 38.7 percent from the field, converting just 29 out of 75 shots. Their 3-point shooting was even more dismal, at a mere 22.9 percent (8 out of 35). Adding to their woes, the Celtics committed 21 turnovers. The 77 points scored by the Celtics were the second-lowest this season.
Despite the loss, a few Celtics players managed to shine. Stefan Todorovic, coming off the bench, led the team with 16 points. Kendall Brown contributed 13 points, and Max Shulga added 12 points.
Looking ahead, the Celtics are set to wrap up the Tip-Off Tournament with a home game against the Raptors 905, who currently lead the league. The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday.
