🏀 This weekend, the Shandong Kylins secured their spot in the quarterfinals of the second CBA Club Cup after a thrilling 100-93 win over the Qingdao Eagles.
Trailing early, Shandong turned the tide when Gao Shiyan found Jalen Powell on the wing, and Powell nailed a corner three to put Shandong up 8. Moments later, Derek Purcell set up Powell again for another triple, stretching the lead to double digits.
The Eagles refused to back down. Joseph Young answered with a deep three, closing the gap to just one. He went on to drop a game-high 32 points, keeping Qingdao in the hunt.
Shandong's Marquese Chriss responded with a strong lay-up, and a crucial steal by Purcell, which he converted into a lay-in, gave the Kylins a four-point cushion. In the final minutes, Gao Shiyan iced the game, and Shandong celebrated a 100-93 victory.
Next up, Shandong will face tough competition in the quarterfinals. Stay tuned for more action! 🔥
