The second half was a total battle. Hu Jinqiu kept the Lions in the fight with 20 points, while Li Hongquan stepped up for Shanghai with 16. But the real story of the night was Barry Brown. The man was absolutely on fire, dropping a career-high 50 points! 🌟 He even put Guangsha ahead 88-86 with only 41 seconds left on the clock. It looked like the Lions had secured the win.
But then came the movie moment. 🎬 Brandon Goodwin intercepted a pass from Brown in the final seconds, sprinted down the court, and launched a clutch three-pointer that found nothing but net as the buzzer sounded. 🎯 Pure magic!
The Sharks are now in the driver's seat, but the Lions are heading back to Hangzhou for Game Three this Sunday, determined to keep their championship dreams alive. Will Shanghai keep the momentum, or can Guangsha claw their way back? Stay tuned! 🏀✨
