Taiwan Beer 80, Bank of Taiwan 53

Scoring early and often, Taiwan Beer bulldozed over an injury-plagued Bank of Taiwan squad in a lopsided 80-53 win to round out the preseason on Sunday night.

The beermen took no mercy against the short-handed bankers, who were missing their top two guns, Chu Yong-hong and Cheng En-jeh, for the game due to various injuries, by taking a 20-15 first-quarter lead and extending it to 45-25 at the half.

Bank of Taiwan was beaten so badly in every facet of the game, more than half of the initial crowd were gone by the start of the fourth quarter with Taiwan Beer upping its lead by as many as 30 points before the dust from the beer wagons finally settled.
