Vít Krejčí set a new Czech record in the NBA (National Basketball Association) by scoring 28 points and sinking eight three-pointers, helping the Atlanta Hawks defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 105–102. The previous Czech record, 27 points, was set nearly six years ago by Tomáš Satoranský, who achieved it for Chicago in a game against Atlanta.
Krejčí’s previous career high was 20 points, achieved in January against Toronto. Only two players this NBA season — Grayson Allen of Phoenix and Aaron Gordon of Denver — have hit more three-pointers in a single game, with ten each.
