Dawkins sets Red Claws 3-point record

After a quiet debut with the Maine Red Claws on the day he was signed to a 10-day contract by the Boston Celtics, Andre Dawkins responded Saturday night by erupting for 27 points while connecting on a team-record eight 3-pointers in a 103-94 loss to his former team, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Dawkins misfired on 12 of 13 3-pointers during Friday's loss in Delaware, but bounced back to make 8 of 18 attempts during Saturday's game. He added seven assists over 39 minutes against Sioux Falls.

Dawkins signed a 10-day deal with Boston on Friday, but was immediately assigned to Maine so the team could get a closer look at him.
