URUMQI, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Jarnell Stokes contributed a double-double while Xinjiang Flying Tigers swept Liaoning Flying Leopards 107-81 and collected the game point in the best-of-seven semifinals of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) on Tuesday night.
Abudushalamu scored six straight points as Xinjiang started the game with a 13-2 run and pushed Liaoning away, though Zhao Jiwei beat the shock with a three-pointer to help Liaoning cut the deficit to eight.
Jarnell Stokes dominated the second quarter with 13 points and helped power Xinjiang to a 50-31 advantage. Young center Fan Ziming didn't have the scoring night Stokes did, but was a key component in defense when facing Brandon Bass.
Xinjiang set the tone in the third when they drived into the paint and drew fouls to get to free throw lines several times.
Yu Changdong's three-pointer gave Xinjiang a stunning lead of 29 points to close out a 12-4 run for the win in the fourth period.
It was a tough night for Liaoning, who only shot 38.6 percent from the floor overall, with Lester Hudson and Bass combining for 39 points.
Stokes collected a game-high 31 points and 12 rebounds, while Kay Felder and Yu Changdong each scored 19.
