In a game that felt like a blockbuster movie climax, the Guangdong Southern Tigers clawed their way to a 98-93 victory over the Shandong Hi-Speed Kirin this weekend! 🐯✨ The Dongguan crowd witnessed edge-of-your-seat action as Guangdong secured their second straight win, proving no lead is safe in the CBA.
Shandong came out swinging like TikTok trends on a Friday night, with Jarmar Gulley draining five three-pointers in the first half alone – including a spicy four-point play that had fans 👀. But Guangdong’s Xu Jie said *not today*, matching Gulley’s fire with five triples of his own before halftime. 🔥
The real plot twist? Third-quarter magic! Xu shifted into *Point God* mode, orchestrating a 14-0 run with Huang Rongqi and Zhang Haojia that flipped the script. Shandong fought back like K-drama protagonists, but a nine-minute scoring drought in the final quarter left them chasing shadows. 😮💨
When Marquese Chriss finally broke the dry spell with free throws, it was too late – Guangdong’s Du Runwang and Troy Gillenwater iced the game with clutch free throws, leaving Shandong’s desperate three-point attempts as mere confetti. 🎉
