The Shanghai Sharks roared to their ninth consecutive victory Wednesday, defeating the Fujian Sturgeons 114-92 in a CBA showdown that started tight but ended in a fire emoji blaze of glory!
Despite Fujian's surprise 24-23 first-quarter lead thanks to Zou Yang and Rashawn Thomas, the Sharks flipped the script with Kenneth Lofton Jr. (28 pts, 16 rebounds) dominating like a TikTok trend going viral. Teammate Li Tianrong added 10 clutch points in the game-changing third quarter alone.
By the final period, Lofton was serving entertainment-grade highlights – sinking 10 points in 4 minutes and basically inventing 'garbage time' as we know it. Fujian's Joseph Young tried rallying his squad, but this was the Sharks' ocean from start to finish.
With this win, Shanghai solidifies its status as the team to watch in the 2024-25 CBA season. Who's ready for Win #10?
