Justin Brown scored 40 points to rally Liaoning Panpan to a
99-91 road victory over Jiangsu Dahua in a Chinese Basketball
Association league match on Tuesday.
With the win, Liaoning stretched its winning streak to five
matches and leads the league table with six wins and two losses,
while Jiangsu failed to break the jinx at Liaoning's court in seven
years.
Productive Brown connected on 19 of his 28 field goal attempts
to go with 14 rebounds in the game, while Li Xiaoxu sunk 24 points
for the home side and Li Xiangtao 19.
With super performance of Brown, Liaoning surged to a 28-23 lead
in the first quarter. But the edge was cut to 46-44 by the half
time.
The visitors Jiangsu reversed it to lead 67-66 at the end of the
third period thanks to effectiveness in both breakthroughs and
perimeter shots.
Brown's jump throw put Liaoning 92-88 ahead in the fourth
quarter, before Liu Xiangtao widened the gap to six points with
1'11" to go, a distance that the rivals never moved within through
to the final buzz.
