Tacko Watch: Fall does it all in win over Skyhawks

After serving as a prop in the 2020 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, Tacko Fall got back to work for the Red Claws on Thursday. The big man almost finished with 20 rebounds (18) in Maine’s 119-100 win over the College Park Skyhawks (Atlanta).

As good as Fall’s numbers were on Thursday, there’s one stat that matters more for him than any other: 30 minutes played. Maine continues to stretch out the center and he continues to contribute in the paint in every way possible.

Fall is building stamina.
