Zhejiang's Jonathan Gibson scored 26 points, Lin Zhijie had 18 points and 9 rebounds and Johan Petro contributed 13 points and 10 boards. Sun Henan and Wang Zheng scored 19 and 10 points respectively.

Beijing's Li Gen led the team with 30 points, Stephon Marbury finished with 20 points, 7 boards and 6 assists, Randolph Morris scored 26 points and Sun Yue had 9 points and 6 rebounds. However, Beijing's overall 22 turnovers in the game hindered them from six-straight wins.

Bayi's veteran center Wang Zhizhi came off the bench at the second quarter and scored 15 points, but Bayi's eight turnovers in the third quarter helped Fujian lead 15 points with 12 minutes remaining. Bayi's efforts in the fourth quarter did not make the results reverse.
