Hunter Dickinson recorded 34 points, 27 rebounds and seven assists, and the Birmingham Squadron erased an 11-point halftime deficit Tuesday night in a 122-106 NBA G League victory over the Maine Celtics in Birmingham, Alabama.
Dickinson, a 7-foot-1 center who starred in college for Michigan and Kansas, became the first player in Squadron history to eclipse 30 points and 20 rebounds in the same game. He had 23 points and 18 rebounds in the second half.
Trey Alexander added 28 points and 11 assists, and Josh Oduro scored 24 points on 10-for-13 shooting. The Squadron shot over 50% against Maine for the second night in a row.
Kendall Brown led the Celtics with 24 points. Keon Johnson again had a good night off the bench, scoring 20 points, but Maine dropped two losses behind Windy City in the battle for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics have only three games remaining, at Long Island on Thursday, then home games against the Cleveland Charge on Sunday and next Tuesday.
