President Cup - Tien Lei leads Dacin past Yulon

Tien Lei overcame a severe coldness with a 26-point, 15-rebounds and 4-blocks performance as Dacin upset Yulon, 81-76, last night(Jan. 24). Dacin won its six straight, clinching the first-place and a place in the finals.

With Chen Hsin-an serving his third and final of his three-game suspension, Yulon never took the lead in the last three quarters. Yulon made only two three-pointers in the game, compared to Dacin's 10, and was pounded on the boards, trailing 25-44 in that department.

Jutai Tech also overcame a 16-point first quarter deficit to a 84-80 come-from-behind victory over Taiwan Beer, 84-80. Yang Yu-ming had 22 points. Lin Che-wei surprised with a 15-point, 13-rebounds effort.
