Table-topping Guangsha claims third-straight CBA win

CBA leaders Guangsha secured a solid 110-94 victory over Guangdong at home on Friday night, with five players contributing in double digits.

Before the game, Guangsha coach Wang Bo emphasized the necessity for more players to step up and work together, especially in the absence of key player Sun Minghui. Rising to the occasion against the record 11-time league champions, Guangsha's players delivered on their boss's expectations.

The match began with Guangdong's Troy Gillenwater scoring 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.

Compounding Guangdong's troubles, their star player Gillenwater suffered an injury after a collision with Zhao Jiaren during an offensive play early in the second half, further tipping the scales in Guangsha's favor.

From that point on, Guangsha maintained control of the game, keeping the lead consistently in double digits. Ultimately, Guangsha triumphed by 16 points, marking their third consecutive victory.
