In an electrifying showdown in Hangzhou, the Guangsha Lions pulled off a 101-96 victory against the Qingdao Eagles in Game 5 of the CBA postseason quarterfinals! 🏀 The team, coming in as regular season leaders, turned a close first-quarter into a commanding performance by outscoring Qingdao in the second period.
Although star scorer Barry Brown Jr. struggled with his shooting, missing 11 of 15 attempts, his nine assists proved vital. Sun Minghui, with a standout double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds, showed that team spirit and sharp play can overcome individual hiccups. It just goes to show that every pass and rebound counts!
Qingdao fought hard, with bench standout Yang Hansen and Quinndary Weatherspoon keeping the game neck-and-neck until the final minutes. Their late rally trimmed the deficit to just four points, but some critical offensive rebounds in the dying moments ultimately sealed the Lions' win.
Looking ahead, Guangsha now gears up to face the defending champions, Liaoning Flying Leopards, in the semifinals. Whether you catch the game on your mobile or chat with friends over chai, this series is set to bring more high-octane action and unforgettable moments. Stay tuned and keep the basketball spirit alive! ✨
