Dominique dominant as Tigers roar to victory
Dominique Jones notched a game-high 53 points as the Jilin Northeast Tigers snapped their three-game CBA losing streak with a 123-98 victory over the Zhejiang Lions in Zhuji, Zhejiang province, on Monday.
Jones also contributed 12 rebounds, eight assists and six steals, while Jiang Yuxing finished with 22 points and nine rebounds.
Miroslav Radulica led Zhejiang with 30 points and 11 rebounds, with center Hu Jinqiu adding 21 points and 13 rebounds.
Jilin head coach Wang Han praised his players' performance at both ends of the court. "Although we let opponents score many points in the paint, I think generally we did well in defense," he said.
"We made 53.8 percent of our 3-point attempts and shot 55.2 percent from the field. These figures reflect that we played better in the offensive end."
