In a nail-biting showdown at the Capital Indoor Stadium, the Zhejiang Golden Bulls pulled off a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback to stun the Beijing Ducks 106-99. With the game hanging in the balance, the Bulls turned the tide when Gabe York exploded for a game-high 34 points, leading a surge of energy and skill. 🏀🔥
The contest was an intense back-and-forth battle until a pivotal moment shifted the momentum. Beijing's defensive anchor, Zhou Qi, suffered an eye injury after a collision with Yu Jiahao while battling for a rebound, leaving the Ducks reeling at a crucial juncture.
With just three minutes remaining, Wu Qian found York for a breakaway layup that tied the score at 96. York then drilled a series of treys over the next few minutes, cementing the comeback. As one teammate noted, "When he's flowing, you know it's on," underlining the clutch performance that carried the Bulls to victory.
The loss marked Beijing's fourth setback in 23 home games this season, even though they still hold a strong 31-14 record while preparing for their final regular-season match against the Tianjin Pioneers. Meanwhile, Zhejiang, currently eighth, aims to capitalize on this momentum ahead of a pivotal finale against the Ningbo Rockets in a potential postseason run. This heart-stopping encounter reminds fans why every second counts in basketball!
