BEIJING, March. 11 -- Leaders of the domestic
basketball CBA League have fell victim to lower placed teams during the 42nd
round while Shandong-Shaanxi tie marred by dispute.
Defending champions Guangdong suffered a 101-98 loss
while visiting Fujian. This is only their fifth loss this season.
North Conference leaders Beijing were embarrassed at
home. The young Liaoning team breached Beijing's solid defenses with a 113-110
away victory.
Another traditional powerhouse, Bayi, stretched their
recent sluggish away record to four games in a row after they fell to Jiangsu,
103-95.
Jiangsu, meanwhile, had their winning streak extended
to four.
In a decisive match for the fifth position of the
North Conference, Shandong beat visiting Shaanxi, 110-107, to take the lead.
However, the match was marred by a four-minute pause in the third quarter after
Shaanxi's head coach called his players off the court in protest against the
referee's judgment calls.
