Chinese Basketball Association Round 31: Jilin Northeast Tigers 96-90 Shanxi Loongs Fenjiu The Jilin Northeast Tigers secured a hard-fought 96-90 home victory over the Shanxi Loongs Fenjiu in a pivotal late-season CBA clash at the Changchun Gymnasium on Sunday evening. The win, anchored by a dominant final quarter, provides a crucial boost to Jilin's playoff positioning as the regular season winds down. The game was a tense, back-and-forth affair until the final minutes, when the Tigers' defensive intensity and clutch shooting created the decisive separation. Shanxi started brightly, leveraging their perimeter shooting to build an early lead, but Jilin's physicality inside kept them within striking distance throughout the first half. The third quarter saw multiple lead changes as both teams traded blows, with the visiting Loongs finding success in transition. The turning point came midway through the fourth quarter. With the score tied, Jilin embarked on a 10-2 run, fueled by a pair of critical three-pointers and several forced turnovers that disrupted Shanxi's offensive rhythm. Shanxi's late push, including a couple of deep threes to cut the deficit to four, was ultimately stymied by Jilin's composure at the free-throw line in the final minute. A key focus was the battle in the paint, where Jilin's big men out-rebounded Shanxi, particularly on the offensive glass, leading to numerous second-chance points. The Tigers also did an excellent job containing Shanxi's primary scorers in the clutch, forcing them into contested shots. For Jilin, their veteran guard orchestrated the offense with precision, dishing out double-digit assists, while a versatile forward led all scorers with an efficient 28-point performance. The victory moves Jilin up the standings, strengthening their hold on a playoff spot, while the loss is a setback for Shanxi's hopes of climbing into the upper tier of the conference. Post-game, the Jilin coach praised his team's resilience, stating, "We showed great heart in the fourth quarter. Our defense won us this game when our shots weren't always falling." The Shanxi coach lamented the late execution, saying, "We had our chances, but we made too many mental errors down the stretch against a tough opponent on the road." Jilin's starting lineup featured Jiang Yuxing, Cui Jinming, Jiang Weize, Zhong Cheng, and a dominant import center. Shanxi countered with a lineup led by their high-scoring foreign guard and a versatile forward.
