The Fort Wayne Mad Ants' D-League playoff run began last week. The Mad Ants and Maine Red Claws split the first two games of their best-of-three first round series, with both games going down to the wire. The decisive Game 3 is in Maine on Wednesday night in Maine at 7:00 PM ET. The winner will advance to face Raptors 905 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Red Claws, Boston's D-League affiliate, pulled out a 110-106 overtime win in Game 1 last Tuesday in Fort Wayne. The Mad Ants had a 98-93 lead with four minutes to go in regulation, but Maine closed the fourth quarter with a 6-1 run to send the game to overtime and then pulled away in the final minute of the extra session.
