The Xinjiang Flying Tigers beat the Beijing Ducks 108-97 in Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Monday, maintaining their perfect record at home in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).

Xinjiang moved Q.J. Peterson into its starting lineup to speed up the team's offense and the strategy worked out well. He shot 3-for-5 from downtown to score nine of his game-high 30 points, while also distributing two assists in the first quarter.

Richard Solomon tallied eight points for the visitors, who trailed 27-24 at the end of the period.

Beijing increased its defensive intensity in the second quarter, forcing more turnovers and missed shots from the Flying Tigers, while exploiting those opportunities to launch a series of fast-breaks. Both Zeng Fanbo and Solomon took advantage of chances to rattle the rim, as the Ducks grabbed a 52-49 lead at halftime.

Beijing fell into a four-minute-long scoring drought as the third quarter began, while Xinjiang enjoyed a 19-0 run before Eugene German made a three-pointer six minutes into the quarter to stop the bleeding for the visitors. After Nuni Omot knocked down a triple, the Ducks cut the deficit to six points at 79-73, going into the fourth quarter.

Zeng tried to step up for Beijing by showing dominance at both ends. He sank a pair of three-pointers and rejected Peterson at the rack, but the Flying Tigers kept finding new sources of firepower, and maintained an advantage of at least five points down the stretch, In the end, Elfuratt Mohetaner killed the suspense by drilling Xinjiang's 15th three-pointer of the evening, and the Flying Tigers beat the Ducks by 11 points.
