With his latest stint in Boston coming to a close, Tacko Fall was back with the Red Claws on Saturday. The big man had another strong showing, finishing one rebound shy of a double-double in Maine's 100-93 win over the Grand Rapids Drive (Pistons).
Eight of Fall's nine boards came on the defensive end. He also blocked five shots after swatting away six the last time he was with Maine.
