Tacko Fall had no issues playing rim protector for the Red Claws in their home opener on Friday. The big man blocked six of Fort Wayne's shots in Maine's 103-100 win.

More importantly, every time Fall was on the floor, the Mad Ants (Pacers) were hesitant to enter the paint in their halfcourt offense. The few times they scored inside while Fall was on the floor were on fastbreak chances and floaters launched well before the Mad Ants got near the big man.
Fall also registered his second double-double for Maine. He scored 16 points on 7-for-10 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds.
