Jilin Tigers score 4th win in China's CBA league

Jilin Northeastern Tigers downed Shandong High Speed Hesper 118-109 for their fourth victory from the eighth round of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league here on Wednesday.

Both sides played tit for tat in the first quarter before Jilin established a 13-point cushion after the first half through cooperation between two imports of Dominique Jones and American center Denzel Boles, who started to play for Jilin this season.

During the second half, the visitors could withstand Jilin's onslaught, and eventually lost the game by nine points.

Jilin will take on Qingdao Double Star Eagles in the next round while Shandong play Shanghai.
