CBA defending champion Liaoning Flying Leopards beat Fujian Sturgeons 106-102 in Game 3 of their quarter-final series to reach the last four on Sunday. 

The champs won the first two at home and Guo Ailun scored a game-high 32 points to make sure that streak continued against regular season domestic MVP Wang Zhelin.  Wang was a target of Liaoning's defense throughout the game, yet he was still able to score a team-high 29 points and grab 13 rebounds.

Three and a half minutes into the second quarter, Brandon Bass dunked to put the Flying Leopards in the lead for the first time in the game. And Guo made it 54-48 at the halftime buzzer for Liaoning.  After the break, Andrew Nicholson's three gave Fujian a 70-69 edge. But that lead was gone in the fourth quarter, with Guo leading Liaoning on a 6-0 run. And the Flying Leopards hung on to sweep the series 3-0.

Guangsha beat Xinjiang 120-112 but the Flying Tigers still lead their quarter-final series 2-1. Li Gen scored two three-pointers in a row to give Xinjiang a four-point lead in the second quarter.

Lin Chih-chieh scored two of his 27 points to help Guangsha trim the margin. Courtney Fortson added three of his 21 points and 17 rebounds, and the Lions led by two in the third quarter. With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Zhao Yanhao's three tied it at 103. With less than two minutes left, Lin hit a crucial three and Guangsha went on to win the game.
