Tianjin's Lin Ting-Chien delivered a standout performance with 33 points (including six three-pointers), supported by Javion Hamlet's 30-point effort. However, their teammates struggled to keep pace, with only Scottie James reaching double digits. The Pioneers' early lead evaporated after being outscored 37-21 in the third quarter.
