ZHUJI, China, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- Yuan Shuai scored a team-high 22 points in a neck and neck game as the Shanxi Loongs edged the Nanjing Monkey Kings 94-92 in the CBA here on Saturday.
With 1:31 left, Shanxi led by five points before Yang Zhe made a tough 3-pointer to help Nanjing stay in the game. Yuan tried to answer but missed a shot outside the arc, while Yang committed a turnover to give possession back to Shanxi.
Nanjing had the chance to win the game after they forced a 24 seconds violation, but Yang missed the crucial three-pointer as time expired.
Eric Moreland scored 16, shooting seven of nine, for Shangxi.
Sean Hill had a game-high 26 points, and Arnett Moultrie contributed 20 points and 10 rebounds for Nanjing.
"Our players were confident to take the win. But we had a bad fourth quarter, which we need to improve in the future," Shanxi head coach Ding Wei said. Enditem
