Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) leaders Guangsha secured a solid 110-94 victory over Guangdong at home on Friday night, marking their third consecutive win. Five players from Guangsha scored in double digits, showcasing a strong team effort.
Before the game, Guangsha coach Wang Bo emphasized the need for players to step up and work together, especially in the absence of key player Sun Minghui. Rising to the occasion against the 11-time league champions, Guangsha’s squad delivered on their coach’s expectations.
The match started with Guangdong’s Troy Gillenwater scoring an impressive 11 points in the first quarter, keeping the score tight. However, in the second quarter, Guangsha’s Zhu Junlong and Barry Brown found their rhythm from beyond the arc, helping to widen the gap.
Guangdong faced further challenges when Gillenwater suffered an injury after a collision with Zhao Jiaren early in the second half, tipping the scales in Guangsha’s favor. From that point on, Guangsha maintained control of the game, keeping their lead in double digits.
Ultimately, Guangsha triumphed by 16 points, solidifying their position at the top of the CBA standings and demonstrating the depth of their roster.
