Lions win in top-of-the-table clash

BATTLE ROYALE The sorry Yulon Dinos threw away a halftime lead to allow the Sina Lions to narrow the gap at the top of the league and win their ninth straight game

Elephants 65, Sina 69

The Elephants missed the chance to be the first team to beat the league's top two teams in back-to-back weekends as they fell victim to a tenacious Lion defense in Sunday's four-point loss.

Having beaten the Dinos on Jan. 31 to snap their 11-game winning streak, the Elephants looked to shooting guard Yang Yu-ming (楊玉明) to top his 28-point night with another brilliant outing. Yang however failed to answer the call this time as he suffered from an off night with a meager 5-for-17 from the floor.

The difference between Yang's point total for the game (13) and his season average (20.6) would have been sufficient for the Elephants to make history.
