Jimmer Fredette recorded his seventh double-double of the season and his third in as many games as the Shanghai Sharks bounced back from a heartbreaking loss to knock off the Jilin Northeast Tigers 121-103 on Tuesday.

Fredette paced the Sharks with 34 points on the strength of 12-for-12 shooting night from the foul line. He added a game-high 10 assists, four rebounds and a steal in 41 minutes of work.

Fredette did most of his damage on the offensive end in the first half as he total 21 points and six assists as Shanghai jumped out to a 63-51 lead at the break. Included in that first half stretch of dominance were two perfect lob passes to Nick Minnerath for dunks followed by a pair of deep threes for Fredette as the Sharks blew the game wide open.
