In a game that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Nanjing Monkey Kings pulled off a jaw-dropping comeback to book their first-ever ticket to the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) Playoffs! Trailing by 17 points early on, the underdog team clawed back to stun the Guangdong Southern Tigers 96-93 in a heart-stopping Tuesday showdown.
This marks a historic moment for the Monkey Kings, who joined the CBA in 2014 after the team's founding in 2007. Their playoff dream once seemed out of reach—until stars like T.J. Leaf and Kendric Davis ignited a rally. Davis dropped clutch buckets in the final minutes, while Guangdong’s last-second three-pointer rimmed out, sealing Nanjing’s Cinderella story.
The game flipped in the third quarter when Nanjing erased Guangdong’s lead and surged ahead by 10. Though Guangdong tied it late, Davis’ cold-blooded heroics—think NBA Jam-level heat checks—kept the crowd buzzing. Meanwhile, Zhejiang’s Golden Bulls ended Xinjiang’s win streak in another highlight game.
With the playoffs locked in, hoops fans worldwide are now eyeing the bracket. Will Nanjing’s magic continue? Stay tuned!
