Boston Celtics two-way rookie Tacko Fall recorded a season-high 21 points on Sunday in his third game with the Maine Red Claws in the G League in a 129-115 win over the Raptors 905.
Fall added five rebounds, two blocks and two assists in 24 minutes off of the bench while he finished by shooting a perfect 9-of-9 from the field, including 2-of-4 from the free-throw line.
The 7-foot-5 center continued a strong start to the season in the G League as he is averaging 16.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.7 blocks for the Red Claws. Fall has proven to be dominant down low so far and has had no problem against smaller defenders.
The Red Claws have made it a point to get Fall involved early and will often take advantage of his height with lobs down low. From there, Fall will take over as he is shooting 78.6% from the field on the season.

After signing Fall to a two-way contract, the Celtics certainly have to be happy with how Fall has started off the season. He has continued his strong play from Summer League and is a key reason why the Red Claws are off to a 3-0 start this season.
