In a nail-biting showdown between Ningbo and Qingdao, the game unfolded with gripping intensity. Right from the tip-off, Ningbo showcased their formidable attacking prowess. However, it was Yang Hansen of Qingdao who asserted dominance in the paint, teaming up with Myles Powell to exchange baskets, giving Qingdao a three-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Powell racked up 10 points, including a crucial three-pointer. As the first half concluded, Qingdao held a 59-51 lead.
The second half saw Ningbo launch a fierce comeback. However, Qingdao quickly retaliated, with Powell once again shining bright.
