TAIYUAN, China, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- The Shanxi Loongs claimed their second consecutive victory in the third round of the 2025-26 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) regular season on Thursday, beating the Zhejiang Golden Bulls 102-91 on home court.

Having entered the last quarter by trailing four points, the home side mounted a late comeback with consecutive three-pointers to turn around the game. Jia Mingru claimed a game-high of 21 points for the Shanxi Loongs.

"We didn't play well in first half, the defense in particular, but we adjusted quickly to snatch the win," said Shanxi coach Pan Jiang. ■
