In a nail-biter that kept fans on the edge of their seats, the Guangdong Southern Tigers clawed their way to a 118-113 victory over the Qingdao Eagles in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) Friday night! 🌟 Star guard Hu Mingxuan exploded for a career-high 40 points, single-handedly steering his team to their first win after a shaky season start.
The game was a rollercoaster 🎢, with both teams trading blows until the final minutes. Qingdao's Yang Hansan (26 pts, 11 rebounds) and Weatherspoon (30 pts) nearly stole the show, but Hu's clutch plays and a heated technical foul on Guangdong's coach Du Feng ⚠️ added drama to the fourth-quarter showdown.
🏆 With this win, Guangdong avoids slipping further in the standings, while Qingdao misses out on a 3-0 streak. Only five teams—including the Beijing Ducks and Liaoning Flying Leopards—remain undefeated after three games.
