The Xinjiang Flying Tigers finished their regular season with a big 40-point win over the Jiangsu Dragons (110-70) in Qingdao on Monday. The strength difference between the teams was simply too big for the game to be any unpredictable. However, 20-year-old star Qi Lin of Xinjiang needing to be carried off the court on a stretcher took all their happiness away. Qi is the third starting player Xinjiang lost already this season after Abdusalam Abdurishit and Zeng Lingxu. The team will go to the playoffs with the all-Chinese squad, but they won't be seen as an all-Chinese team because Xinjiang only decided to waive their foreign aid this week. That means Xinjiang's opponents will not have a limit on sending foreign players to the game.

In another game on Monday, the Tianjin Pioneers defeated the Guangzhou Loong Lions 118-110 in overtime, ending their season with a victory.

The last three games on Monday night all ended with the higher-ranked sides losing. The Jilin Northeast Tigers lost to the Qingdao Eagles 99-80, who rose to No. 8 while Jilin dropped to No. 10. The two teams from Zhejiang - the Lions and the Golden Bulls - lost to the Shanxi Loongs 107-100 and the Shenzhen Aviators 107-96 respectively. Therefore, nothing changed with their rankings.
