Guangsha’s Third-Quarter Blitz 🔥

By the time Liaoning regained their footing, the deficit was too steep to overcome. 🧊 \"They played like they had rockets on their shoes,\" one fan tweeted about Guangsha’s electric third-quarter run.
Shanghai’s Comeback Kings 👑
Down early against Tianjin, Shanghai’s Kenneth Lofton Jr. dropped a season-high 43 points, including clutch plays that flipped a double-digit deficit into a 132-108 blowout. Despite Tianjin’s David James hitting three straight threes, Lofton’s dominance in the paint sealed the deal. 🎯 \"When he’s on fire, there’s no stopping him,\" said a courtside analyst.
