ZHUJI, China, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Jilin Northeast Tigers stretched their winning streak to five after an easy 99-87 win over the Guangzhou Loong Lions in the 2020-21 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) here on Wednesday.

Jiang Yuxing contributed 22 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists for Jilin, while Dai Huaibo finished with 14 points and 3 rebounds, and Zhong Cheng and Jiang Weize each contributed 17 points.

Jilin took the upper hand from the start and extended its lead to double digits by the end of the first quarter. Guangzhou struggled to cut the deficit with consecutive three-pointers from Sun Mingyang at halftime.

However, Jilin was able to fend off Guangzhou's rally with a stellar scoring performance.

"We got more rebounds than last match, which is good. Although we took the victory at last, we did make a lot of mistakes in the last quarter," said Jilin coach Wang Han.

"We had a fighting spirit in the field. But our defensive system went wrong," said Guangzhou coach Guo Shiqiang. Enditem
