The Guangsha Lions clinched the No. 1 spot in the CBA Playoffs with a thrilling 110-107 victory over the Shanxi Loongs on Saturday! 🎉 Despite missing three starters, James Nunnally exploded for 33 points, leading Guangsha to their sixth straight win. Talk about clutch energy! 💪
The game was a rollercoaster: Guangsha built a 14-point lead in the first half 🔥, only for Shanxi to claw back to within 3 points in the third quarter. But every time the Loongs threatened, Nunnally and Co. fired back—like Nathan Knight’s four-point play in the final minutes that sealed the drama! 🏆
Shoutout to Shanxi’s Brandon Goodwin and Hamidou Diallo for keeping it close, but Guangsha’s depth proved unstoppable. With three playoff games to spare, the Lions are roaring into the postseason! 🦁
