Hu Weidong made nine of 25 three-pointers for 27 points, and Tang Zhengdong added 23 for Jiangsu. Ryan Forehan Kelly and Simeon Halet combined for 21 points for the winning visitors.

Zhou Xin scored 27 points to lead four Zhejiang players to double digit, but their weaponry was still not strong enough to beat the unbeatable champions favorite.

Fujian Xunxing was the only team that lost its home game on Wednesday, beaten by Shaanxi Kylin 86-72 as both Liu Gang and Joseph Garth combined for 47 points by scoring 21 of 28 attempts.

Zhu Shilong led Fujian with 28 points, Li Meng added 17 and none of the other players scored double digits.

The Ducks, which beat the Bulls 87-82 on the road, were 2-0 against Shandong with two more games to play between the two teams for the regular season, and ranked second in the North Division with 29 points, five points behind Liaoning but with one game at hand.
