Kadeem Allen led the Red Claws (7-6) with 19 points and five assists. Trey Davis had 16 points and seven assists. Jabari Bird and Devin Williams were unavailable because of injuries.
The Bulls (5-6) opened an early 20-9 lead and never were threatened. It was 72-48 at halftime.
Maine’s record for points allowed is 152.
The Red Claws return to the Portland Expo for games Friday and Saturday night against Erie (coached by Portland High graduate Josh Longstaff) and Texas.
