It was a night of epic showdowns on Saturday in the CBA! The Fujian Sturgeons snapped their three-game skid with a 115-94 blowout over the Tianjin Pioneers in Quanzhou, in Fujian Province on the Chinese mainland 🎉.
Six players scored in double digits for Fujian, led by Zou Yang, Travis Trice and Vladimir Brodziansky, each dropping 20+ points. Their bench unit was on fire, outscoring Tianjin’s bench 60-8 💪.

Lin Ting-Chien still shined with a season-high six triples for 33 points, and Javion Hamlet added 30 points and nine assists, but their efforts weren’t enough.
