Krejci contributed 5 points to the Hawks win, Irving scored the winning shot in the last second

Czech basketball player Vit Krejci contributed 5 points to Atlanta’s sensational 93:110 victory over the favored Los Angeles team. The Clippers surprisingly did not win the game, as the Hawks defended the shooting stars of the opponent very well.

Vit Krejci was in the starting lineup for the fifth time in a row

Vít Krejci, the only Czech basketball player in this season’s NBA, played for the fifth time in a row in Atlanta’s starting five and spent 25 minutes on the floor without 20 seconds. However, the long-range specialist didn’t have a single three-point attempt this time.

In total, he made three two-point shots, one of which ended up in the Clippers’ basket, and converted all three free throws. He also had two rebounds, three assists, one blocked shot and did not commit a single turnover. He scored a total of 5 points in this game.

Atlanta was led by Dejounte Murray with 21 points and 10 assists. De’Andre Hunter added 20 points. The Clippers only had two players in the game exceed double figures in points. Kawhi Leonard scored 28 points and Paul George added 26 points.

The game did not go well at all for James Harden, who scored just 9 points in 36 minutes on the floor and converted just 3 of 10 shots from the field. Atlanta decided its victory in the second quarter, which it won by 15 points and kept the Clippers’ shooting aces at bay with perfect defense. It was an important win in the playoffs.

Kyrie Irving made the winning shot with the horn sounding

In the game Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets (107:105), the defending champions lost to Dallas with a last-second shot by the home team’s star Kyrie Irving.

The top scorer of the game was Slovenian Luka Doncic, who put 37 points in the Nuggets’ basket, but the main hero was the second star of the team Irving, who converted the winning shot with the sound of the horn. She scored a total of 24 points in the game and added 9 assists for her teammates. It was defending champion Jamall Murray who led the way with 23 points.

Nikola Jokic was held to just 16 points and 11 rebounds this time around. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, who is a Hall of Fame member by the way, didn’t hide his excitement about the unexpected victory, which was very important in front of the playoff chasers, when the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers came dangerously close. A win over the best team in the conference is doubly appreciated.
