“We didn’t need a championship to see how special this group was,” said Maine Celtics Head Coach Blaine Mueller, after his team’s 117-100 defeat in Game 3 of the G League Finals.
Maine came up short in their first-ever appearance in the championship round, going the distance but falling to the Oklahoma City Blue on Monday.
Despite that, the season did not feel like a disappointment at all.
Sure, there was a somber tone to the postgame press conferences, but it wasn’t necessarily because of the result.
This season’s G League Celtics group had a special feel to it.
