Basketball fans, brace yourselves! The Shanghai Sharks are unstoppable right now, clinching their sixth consecutive victory with a thrilling 103-99 road win against the Shenzhen Leopards in the Chinese Basketball Association. 🦈🏆
Former NBA star Kenneth Lofton Jr. stole the spotlight, dropping a monster triple-double: 22 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists. Talk about an all-around performance! 💪 Shenzhen put up a fierce fight early, with He Xining and Markell Johnson sinking key threes to take a first-quarter lead. But the Sharks flipped the script in the second quarter, riding Lofton’s dominance to a halftime advantage they never surrendered.
The game stayed tense until the final minute. Lofton delivered clutch plays down the stretch—driving layups, rebounds, and even a three-pointer—while teammate D.J. Wilson added firepower from beyond the arc. Shenzhen’s Zhou Peng tried to rally the Leopards with late heroics, but Lofton’s last-minute layup sealed the deal. 🎯
With this win, Shanghai jumps to 15th place, proving they’re a team to watch. Meanwhile, Shenzhen slips to 18th. Who’s ready for more CBA drama? 👀
