Wisconsin Herd keep rolling with home win over Maine Red Claws

The Wisconsin Herd continued their excellent start to the season and life in the G League with a 132-125 win over the Maine Red Claws on Saturday.

In front of just 100 people at the Bradley Center in a game that was played behind closed doors, the Wisconsin Herd continued to impress with their early season play.

Coming up against a talented Maine Red Claws team, affiliate of the Boston Celtics, the Herd led for most of the night and maintained their composure at all times with what was often a narrow lead.

While Jabari Bird starred for the Red Claws and may have led his team to a victory on any other night, the Herd simply packed more punch through the play of Sterling Brown and James Young on the wings.
