The Guangdong Southern Tigers: The Guangdong Southern Tigers crushed the Sichuan Blue Whales 104-92, while the Shenzhen Leopards prevailed over the Fujian Sturgeons 103-94 in the 2023-24 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league regular season on Sunday.

Guangdong started strong with Clarence Weems scoring the first three-pointer of the game. Sichuan's Chris Obekpa and Hu Junlin soon followed up with accurate shots and heralded tit-for-tat offensives, closing the gap to 35-32 as the first quarter concluded, reported Xinhua.

Guangdong intensified their shots in the second quarter with Xu Jie, Ma Yuqi, and Hu Mingxuan pouring in three-pointers, leading a jaw-dropping 17-0 run. The Sichuan players never recovered from this flurry of blows, as their shots started missing. With a 20-point gap at halftime, the Blue Whales lost their fighting spirit and handed Guangdong a landslide victory in the rest of the see-sawing game.
