With a trio of first-year players leading the way, the Maine Red Claws picked up a 126-114 win over the Delaware Blue Coats in a New Year’s Eve matinee special on Tuesday.

Boston Celtics second-round pick Carsen Edwards scored 23 points, five rebounds and three assists in his fifth G League assignment after joining the Red Claws on Monday. Edwards shot 10-of-21 from the field, including 2-of-8 from 3-point range.

Edwards previously played four games in the G League earlier this month for the Red Claws before he re-joined the Celtics on Dec. 22. Edwards averaged 21.8 points, five rebounds, 3.5 assists and three steals during that stint, including a season-high 28 points on Dec. 15.

Tremont Waters recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 18 points, 11 assists and four rebounds for the Red Claws. The two-way rookie knocked down a 3-pointer with just over a minute to go to seal the victory.

Tacko Fall continued his dominant play as of late by tallying 13 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks off of the bench. The outing was good for his third-straight double-double and his seventh of the season, which is tied for 10th most in the G League.

The three players have each seen limited time this season in the NBA with the Celtics but they have performed well when called upon in the G League.
