November 4th, 2011: CBA, Euroleague Recap

CBA (Preseason)

Bayi 78, Zhejiang Wanma 72: JR Smith sat until the second half of this one.  He struggled a bit, scoring just 11 points, but Zhejiang did come back from a double-digit defecit before eventually losing.  His teammate Josh Boone scored 22.

Guangdong 97, Fujian 91: James Singleton posted yet another impressive stat line–26 points and 7 boards–as he led his team to a six-point victory.  Statistically, Singleton has probably been the most consistent performer of all NBA products.

Foshan 72, Dongguan 68: In his CBA debut Gerald Green dropped 16 points to go along with 7 boards, 3 assists, and 3 steals.  He helped Foshan overcome a double-digit first-half deficit and steal the victory.  Former 76er/Trail Blazer Shavlik Randolph recorded 22/10/2/3 BLK/4 STL in a losing effort.

Euroleague

Panathinaikos 92, Zalgiris Kaunas 75: Sonny Weems and friends drop to 0-3 in Euroleague competition after suffering yet another lopsided defeat.  My main man did shoot 9-13 (3-3 from Euro-distance) and lead his team with 21 points… but he had another 4 turnovers.  Ty Lawson missed just one shot as he scored 14 points and dished 4 dimes.  Panathinaikos didn’t get any crazy digits from anyone, but they vastly out-shot Zalgiris as a team.

Update: thanks to Skaloon for providing highlights from the game…
