Darius Adams scored a game-high 37 points to help the Qingdao Eagles snap 3-game losing streak, taming the Zhejiang Lions 115-109 on Sunday night, while the Liaoning Flying Leopards crushed the Fujian Sturgeons 126-105.

Qingdao led 55-50 at halftime, but Zhejiang Lions center Xu Zhonghao rewarded coach Wang Bo's trust with a clutch of 3-pointers late in the regular time, helping the team tie it up 99.

Adams dominated the overtime with 11 points, using back-to-back driving layups to ice it for Qingdao.

Five Zhejiang Lions players were in double-digit. Hu Jinqiu had 27 points and 10 rebounds, and Zhao Yanhao chipped in 21 points.

"We had lots of injuries. But we did well on preparation and it's great to snap the losing streak," said Qingdao coach Wu Qinglong.

Facing the Fujian Sturgeons, the Liaoning Flying Leopards played less-than-impressive defense in the first quarter, but they sparked a 47-22 run in the second quarter.

Liaoning never looked back in the second half, with the benches cheering on the sideline.

Elsewhere, Marshon Brooks's 22 points helped the Guangdong Southern Tigers overcome the Guangzhou Long Lions 110-104.

The Zhejiang Golden Bulls will face the Xinjiang Flying Tigers on Monday, while the Shanghai Sharks play against the Shandong Heroes.
