In a nail-biter that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Guangdong Southern Tigers clawed their way to a 99-98 victory over the Beikong Royal Fighters Sunday night – their sixth consecutive win in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA)! 🎉
The game started rocky for Guangdong, trailing 8-2 early before guards Xu Jie and Eric Moreland flipped the script with clutch plays. By halftime, the Tigers roared ahead 47-32 thanks to Darius Bazley's rim-rattling dunks 🦾 and Ren Junfei's three-point magic 🎯.
But Beikong wasn't done yet! Shen Zijie and Travis Trice led a furious third-quarter comeback, tying the game 97-97 with under a minute left. When Beikong took a 98-97 lead with 7.1 seconds left, Guangdong's Troy Gillenwater made a gravity-defying tip-pass to Xu Xin, who floated in the game-winning basket with ice in his veins ❄️.
'This team never quits,' said a courtside fan after the thriller in Dongguan. 'Xu Xin’s shot? Pure cinema!' 🎥
