Boston Celtics two-way rookie Tremont Waters led the Maine Red Claws on Thursday night with 30 points in a 120-118 triple-overtime win over the Capital City Go-Go.
The second-round pick also added seven assists, five steals and one rebound in 41 minutes of work as the Red Claws won as time expired on a layup by Kaiser Gates.
The performance by Waters marked his second 30-point game of the season in the G League after recording a season-high 33 points on Nov. 27 against the Greensboro Swarm.
After his performance on Thursday, Waters is averaging 21 points, 7.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 16 games played in the G League. He ranks 14th in scoring, fifth in assists and fifth in steals.
Waters has proven to be among the top players in the G League this season. His outing came just three nights after recording a career-high eight points with the Celtics against the Washington Wizards.
With the Celtics facing a loaded schedule in January, Waters may continue to shuttle back and forth between the Red Claws and Celtics but head coach Brad Stevens has said he trusts Waters when called upon.
The Red Claws and Celtics each play next on Saturday night.
