Maine Celtics Steamroll Their Way to Game 1 in G League Finals
Tuesday night at the Expo, the Maine Celtics, playing in the G League Finals for the first time in franchise history, hosted their series opener against the Oklahoma City Blue.
They quickly capitalized on their opportunity, racing to a 33-14 lead entering the second frame. Maine played from ahead throughout the matchup, including taking an 84-61 advantage into the fourth quarter, leaving no doubt who would take the first tilt in this best-of-three.
JD Davison registered 23 points and 12 assists, pacing all participants in both categories in the Celtics’ 106-86 win. A day after signing a standard, multi-year contract with the parent club, Neemias Queta produced 20 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks.
Jordan Walsh finished with 15 points, six rebounds, three steals, and two blocks. Drew Peterson generated 20 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and three steals in the victory.
Game 2 is on Thursday night, Apr. 11, in Oklahoma City. That matchup will tip off at 8:00 EST.

The Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition says over the past two weeks its immigrant defense hotline has seen an uptick in reported ICE detentions.
They say this corresponds with a national shift in ICE activity, including bids for local businesses to cooperate with ICE.
In Maine, the arrests follow a broader trend of targeting Black and brown immigrants, including people navigating immigration proceedings.
The coalition, which represents more than 100 organizations, says it’s ready to protect civil and human rights and is urging immigrants to prepare themselves and their families.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
They suggest having the defense hotline ready in case you witness ICE activity, making sure you have important personal documents in case of detention, and reviewing rights around judicial warrants in private spaces, like your home or workplace.
It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
