The 73-point night is the fourth-highest scoring game in CBA history.
Fredette, 27, is taking the league by storm. In 36 games played, he is averaging 36.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. And he's connecting on 40.5 percent of his 3-point attempts.
Sacramento traded Fredette after 41 games in his third season with the Kings where he only averaged 7.0 points points while playing 15.0 minutes per game.
Over five NBA seasons between four teams, Fredette only averaged 6.0 points per contest.
