Boston Celtics two-way rookie Tacko Fall recorded 16 points, 13 rebounds, six blocks and two assists Friday night in his second game of the season for the Maine Red Claws in the G League.
The performance by Fall marked his second straight double-double with the Red Claws after posting 13 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in his debut with Maine on Nov. 9. He finished by shooting 7-of-10 from the field in 27 minutes off of the bench.
Fall looked to be dominant down low at times throughout the game, something he did in his debut game as well. Given his 7-foot-5 frame, Fall often has no trouble in the painted area and the Red Claws made it a point to toss lobs down to him over the smaller defenders.
Fall attempted just one free throw in the game but likely could have earned more trips to the line as he appeared to take a lot of contact on many of his buckets down low. In any case, Fall is a big reason why the Red Claws are off to a 2-0 start.
The Celtics just began a five-game West Coast road trip so Fall, and fellow two-way rookie Tremont Waters, will likely spend the foreseeable future in the G League.
The Red Claws play next on Sunday against the Raptors 905 at 1 p.m. ET.
