Jimmer Fredette delivered another fantastic performance as the Shanghai Sharks snapped a two-game losing streak with a 90-67 win over the Zhejiang Golden Bulls on Tuesday.

The former BYU guard shot lights out from all over the floor connecting on 16 of 24 shots from the floor, including 6-for-11 from 3-point land and 3-for-3 from the foul line on his way to a game-high 41 points. He was also impressive in other areas of the game, contributing a game-best seven assists and six rebounds while tying a season high with six steals in 41 minutes.

Fredette got to work early as he registered eight first-quarter points, including a pair of triples as Sharks jumped out to a 17-13 lead. He was even better in the second quarter with 11 more points, including the last seven points for Shanghai to turn a tie game into a five-point lead.

Jimmer added three more baskets in the third, before completely taking over in the fourth quarter to propel the Sharks to the win. He started things out with a 3-point play before showing off his ridiculous range with a deep three. Fredette then found some space on the perimeter and connected on another deep triple to push the lead to 13.

He then showed off his skills on the defense end with a pair of steals that he turned into baskets on the other end as the Sharks blew the game wide open.

Here are some fun highlights provided by The Jimmer Watch YouTube channel.

Luis Scola added 13 points, six rebounds and three assists for the Sharks while Luo Hanyu chipped in with 12 points, five rebounds and three helpers.
