The battle to stay out of the cellar went the Eagles' way as they outplayed the slumping bankers, losers of 15 straight, in the decisive fourth quarter on the strength of Chen Shih-jeh's fine play.
The reserve guard continued his recent scoring surge by netting 20 or more points for the third straight game with 27.
As in many of their 15 previous losses, the bankers actually had several excellent chances to put their opponents away after taking sizable leads in the second half.
But failure to sustain their level of intensity throughout the entire game ultimately resulted in yet another bitter loss.
