Gabe York led Fort Wayne with 26 points while Justin Anderson added 32 and Jermaine Samuels Jr. had 23 points and 12 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Maine was paced by Marial Shayok\u2019s 30 points.<\/p>\n<p>The game, originally scheduled for Tuesday, was moved to Wednesday due to travel issues for the Celtics.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning NBA G League Player of the Week Gabe York got off to a hot start, scoring 11 of the Mad Ants\u2019 first 13 points. Marial Shayok scored four straight points for Maine at the 4:35 mark of the first quarter to draw the Celtics within one at 18-17. Scottie Lindsey evened the score at 20 with 2:45 to go with a three point make for Maine. An A.J. Reeves three in the closing seconds gave Maine a 27-25 lead at the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The Mad Ants reclaimed the lead on back-to-back possessions with a York three and a Samuels transition basket with 8:22 to go to lead 34-30. Fort Wayne would push their lead to as many as seven with 5:09 to play on a Justin Anderson power move at the basket but Marvin Smith would answer back with a three pointer on the other end. An Anderson three pointer with 1:21 to play in the half pushed Fort Wayne\u2019s lead to 10 for the first time at 56-46; the Mad Ants would take a 61-46 lead to the half. Fort Wayne shot 51.2 percent in the first half, led by York\u2019s 18 and 16 points from Anderson.<\/p>\n<p>The Mad Ants pushed their lead to 21 in the third, but with 6:29 to play, a Shayok three was an exclamation point for the Celtics\u2019 run that made the game 79-68, still in Fort Wayne\u2019s favor. With 1:27 left in the third, a Kamar Baldwin got the game back into single digits for the Celtics at 90-81. Fort Wayne would continue to lead after three quarters, 93-81.<\/p>\n<p>The teams came out exchanging baskets in the fourth quarter with no traction for either side in the first four minutes but a Lindsey three pointer near eight minutes again got Maine back within single digits at 105-96. Maine rallied back within five and Fort Wayne answered; with 3:55 to play, a Samuels basket made it 114-106 for the Mad Ants.<\/p>\n<p>York hit seven three pointers in the win, adding four steals while David Stockton led the Mad Ants with 10 assists.<\/p>\n<p>Maine saw Eric Demers (20 points, 6 three pointers) and Kamar Baldwin (28 points, 5 three pointers) shine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2007-trf\/24844.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Mad Ants at Headwaters Park East and the Three Rivers Festival.
