Monday night in the CBA was 🔥 as the Liaoning Flying Leopards stormed past the reigning champs, the Guangsha Lions, 95-79 at home in Shenyang.
The Leopards kicked off strong, owning the first quarter 26-18, and never looked back. American sharpshooter Dez Wells went off for 30 points, leading a balanced attack where four teammates chipped in double-digit scoring. Talk about squad depth! 😎
On the Lions' side, Hu Jinqiu was the lone bright spot, drilling 10 of 13 shots for 24 points. Barry Brown struggled, hitting just 5 of 18 attempts, while Rayjon Tucker kept things honest with 12 points at the line.
The visitors tried to claw back with hot three-point shooting in the fourth, but Liaoning answered with back-to-back triples to seal the deal. 🎯
If you’re in Manila, Jakarta or Bengaluru, get inspired—Dez Wells' step-back threes are pure 🔥 for your next pickup game.
