The tailor did not miss. With new personal records, he helped win over Chicago

Krejčí improved his maximum despite playing less than 25 minutes, at least in the last seven games. The previous record of the Strakonice native in the NBA was 16 points and four three-pointers. He was the first Czech player to score six three-point baskets in one game. In addition to the points, Krejčí also recorded four defensive rebounds and three assists.

“It’s about confidence. You hit a few shots, the team is playing well. The reason we shot well in general was because we moved the ball well. When you hit a three-pointer after three passes, it’s always better than after one,” Krejčí said.

The Czech representative converted five three-pointers already in the first half, while he scored the fifth in the last second of the second quarter. He added the sixth three-pointer at the beginning of the third period. Atlanta won the fifth game in the last six and secured the tenth place, which means participation in the preliminary round of the playoffs.

The Hawks shot 50 percent, including over 47 percent from three-point range. Bogdanovic, who was caught on camera arguing with coach Quin Snyder, scored 20 points. Dejounte Murray had 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists. DeMar DeRozan’s 31 points didn’t help Chicago, a potential opponent of the Hawks in the preliminary round.
