The Jiangsu Dragons roared back to victory Tuesday night, defeating the Tianjin Pioneers 99-93 in Nanjing after a six-game slump! James Thompson dominated early with paint control, but Tianjin’s Lin Ting-Chien nearly stole the show with four three-pointers in the first quarter alone. Talk about a rollercoaster game!
By halftime, the Dragons clung to a one-point lead (52-51) thanks to Thompson and Franklin Jackson’s relentless offense. Tianjin’s third-quarter slump proved costly—they managed just one field goal in a critical stretch, letting Jiangsu build a 77-68 lead.
Despite a late three-point barrage from Tianjin’s Zheng Haoran and Lin in the final 30 seconds, Jiangsu’s rotations sealed the deal. Meanwhile, Shandong Hi-Speed Kirin crushed the Ningbo Rockets 112-102, fueled by Ronald March’s 60-point solo spectacle ( season-high alert!). Shandong now sits at No. 2 in the CBA rankings!
Game highlights: Thompson’s double-digit dominance, Lin’s sharpshooting, and a *chef’s kiss* comeback story for Jiangsu fans. Who’s ready for the next matchup?
