Boston Celtics two-way rookie Tacko Fall recorded 18 points and 16 rebounds on assignment Thursday night in the G League with the Maine Red Claws.
The 7-foot-5 center finished by shooting 9-of-10 from the field in 23 minutes of work during the 122-98 win over the Canton Charge as he registered his 11th double-double of the season, which ranks 14th among all players.
Fall once again proved to be too much for defenders down in the paint en route to his near-perfect night from the floor. His size and strength have often gotten the best of the opposition and that was on display Thursday night.

Fall re-joined the Red Claws after spending the past week with the Celtics in the NBA. He made two appearances with the Celtics and even earned a standing ovation in Boston on Saturday night.
