URUMQI, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Kay Felder's clutch shot helped Xinjiang overcome Zhejiang 146-138 in two overtimes in the 2019-2020 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league on Tuesday night.

Zhejiang had a good start as Wu Qian chipped in 11 points for a 17-14 lead. Jarnell Stokes came off the bench and gave Xinjiang what they needed to outscore 30-29 in the first quarter.

Xinjiang made three steals that sparked a string of 11 straight points for a 14-point lead midway through the second when Zhejiang's offense bogged down. Zhang Zhengxin ended Zhejiang's drought with a hook shot as they cut down the deficit to 59-54 before the halftime break.

Wu Qian knocked down a 3-pointer before Zhu Xuhang added another to regain the leady 71-69 for Zhejiang. Thanks to Stokes' outburst in paint area, Xinjiang charged back for a 87-85 lead to go into the fourth quarter.

Zhejiang's Marcus Denmon found his hot hands in the fourth, as he was so dominant and scored 13 straight points to regain control.

Abdusalam made a basket to get 116-114 lead with 47.1 seconds remaining after Denmon hit a jump shot from beyond the arc.

Denmon sank two free throws to tie it up before Stokes missed a 3-pointer as the match went to the first overtime.

Zhejiang's clutch stretch was capped by shot from Cheng Shuaipeng for a 131-128 lead, but the hard situation seemed to motivate Abdusalam, who was fouled and made three free throws, saving Xinjiang and pushed the game into the second overtime.

Kay Felder hit five points in a row to collect the tough win for Xinjiang.

Stokes scored 40 points, followed by Zhou Qi, who collected a double-double with 24 points and 20 rebounds.

Denmon hit a game-high 50 points for Zhejiang, while Wu Qian added 28. Enditem
