MUNICH (Germany) – BC Sabah’s Klavs Cavars set a new FIBA Europe Cup single-game record with 8 blocks, on Wednesday night.
The Latvian international had a block party, and everyone from Maroussi BC was invited, with a dominant performance in the paint against the Greek side in an 82-71 defeat.
Cavars broke a seven-year old record held by Kervin Bristol of Kataja Basket, as the American had been the only player in the competition's history to record at least 7 blocks in a single game.
