After picking up two consecutive wins against the Long Island Nets, the Westchester Knicks were back in action Saturday against the Maine Celtics.
Celtics’ two-way player Brodric Thomas made a solid impression early on by scoring 14 of the team’s 37 first quarter points. Westchester cut their deficit to nine points in the second quarter behind 16 points from Knicks’ two-way player Luka Samanic. Maine controlled most of the first half where the home team held a double-digit lead after the first quarter and a 73-50 at halftime.
The Knicks struggled containing Thomas and former Knick Theo Pinson, as the former went off for 32 points and the latter had 27 points.
