What a finish! 🔥 Last night, fans at Shenzhen's home court were on their feet as Terquavion Smith sank a buzzer-beating three to give the Shenzhen Leopards a heart-stopping 92-90 win over the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in the Chinese mainland's top basketball league, the CBA.
Smith went off for a game-high 43 points, showing off everything from deep triples to thunderous drives to the rim. Early on, guard Wang Haoran chipped in 15 points, including three triples, helping Shenzhen grab an early edge.
The first half saw neither team back down. The Leopards and the Golden Bulls traded leads in a nail-biting back-and-forth, with each possession feeling like the most important play of the night.
In the final seconds, Zhejiang's Gabriel York appeared to have sealed the deal with a slick three to put the visitors up 90-89 with five ticks on the clock. But with the shot clock turned off, Smith caught the inbounds pass, stepped back behind the arc, and let it fly as the buzzer sounded—swish! The arena erupted. 🎉
With this win, Shenzhen notches its second straight victory and will look to keep the momentum rolling in their next CBA showdown later this week. The race for playoff positioning just got a whole lot more exciting! 🚀
