Yulon clinches playoffs seed by Jutai’s loss

Yen Shin-shu scored 24 points as BCC Mars edged Jutai 95-90 to open up a two-game lead in the postseason race, which sees Mars, Jutai and Dacin fight for two playoffs seeds. With Jutai’s loss, Yulon also became the first team to clinch a playoffs birth.

Second-place SINA was shocked by Taiwan Beer, 98-77, in the first game of the night. Streaky SINA opened the season losing three straight, won the next twelve games, and lost three consecutive games again. However, their second-place looked secured.
