DONGGUAN, April 5 (Xinhua) -- Guangdong suffered their first home loss of the season here on Wednesday as they were defeated by Xinjiang 104-91 in the third game of CBA finals.
Xinjiang now leads 3-0 in the best-of-seven series and have three match points. The fourth match will still be played in Dongguan, Guangdong.
Xinjiang's 13 three-pointers in the first half set the tone for the match. The host made in only six three-pointers for the entire game, as much as Xinjiang did in only the first quarter. Darius Adams scored 16 of his team-high 37 points for Xinjiang in the first period and led a 15-0 run to help Xinjiang finish the first quarter with a lead of 17 points.
Li Gen cam out for Xinjiang in the second quarter. Li, nicknamed Jiaozuo LeBron for his strong body, was five-of-five in shooting in that quarter. With his 12 points, Xinjiang headed into the second half at 62-44.
Xinjiang enlarged their lead to as many as 24 points in the third period. But in the final quarter, Xinjiang suddenly lost their concentration and could only witness their opponent narrowing the gap to as little as eight.
Guangdong's Carlos Boozer scored 19 of his match-high 40 points in the final period. But the host had too much turnovers in last minutes and was unable to turn over the table.
Adams led Xinjiang with 37 while Andray Blatche helped with a double-double of 25 and 10 rebounds. Boozer had 40 and 11 rebounds but was the only Guangdong player to score more than 20 points. Yi Jianlian took 15 from 36 minutes while Zhou Peng added 16. Donald Sloan finished with only 10 and was 0-of-5 in three-pointer shooting.
