CBA Roundup: Liaoning smashes Guangzhou, Beijing hands Sichuan 12th straight loss


NANJING, China, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- Zhang Zhenlin scored a game-high 30 points as the Liaoning Flying Leopards clinched a road win against the Guangzhou Loong Lions, 93-76, in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) League on Tuesday.

Guangzhou once led by eight points in the first quarter, spurred by Cui Yongxi's consecutive three-pointers. The visiting team quickly overturned the momentum in the second quarter via the tacit pick-and-roll combination between Zhao Jiwei and Han Dejun.
