The Zhejiang Golden Bulls defeated the Jilin Northeast Tigers 95-88, extending their winning streak to four games in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) on Sunday.

Jiang Yuxing, who suffered an eye injury and had 10 stitches in the hospital, came back to the court after only two days of rest.

Zhejiang launched a 7-0 run at the start and claimed an easy lead at 48-33 in the first half as Jilin committed 14 turnovers, and held a 66-55 advantage before the fourth period.

Jilin embarked on a run of 13-3 in the final period, powered by Liu Tianyi's three-pointers in a row to narrow the gap to 69-68 with six minutes remaining. But Jilin lost its chance to close the gap, with their shooters failing several times at the end of the game on the way to their fourth loss out of five games.

"Our players were not patient," said Wang Han, head coach of Jilin. "We made 23 turnovers tonight, which means we had a big problem in communication and transition."

Zhejiang had five players reach double figures in points, including Wu Qian, who had 23 points, six rebounds and 11 assists. Cheng Shuaipeng had 21 points and five assists, Zhang Dayu added a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Despite his team's defeat, Jiang scored 22 points for Jilin.

"We did a great job in the first half, but made too many mistakes in the fourth period," said Zhejiang head coach Liu Weiwei.
