ZHUJI, China - The Xinjiang Flying Tigers nipped the Qingdao Eagles 101-100, while the Guangzhou Loong Lions stormed past the Shenzhen Aviators 114-89 in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) here on Tuesday.

Qingdao players were at a distinct disadvantage in height compared to Xinjiang, while they quickly found rhythm in outside shooting in the game. Qingdao won first three quarters at the night but suffered a sudden scoring drought in face of the pressing defense of the rivals in the fourth quarter.

After trailing by 15 points in the first quarter of the match against Guangzhou, Shenzhen strengthened defense and had a close game in the second quarter. However, the second half only saw Guangzhou widen the gap and quickly made it a one-sided game

Yu Dehao made a steal in the clutch time of the last quarter and assisted Abudushalamu in drawing a foul to stand on the free-throw line and nail down the victory.
