The Liaoning Flying Leopards remain as the only undefeated team so far in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), winning Wednesday night with a nail-biter against the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.
American and former NBA guard Lester Hudson stole the spotlight with a triple-double, finishing the game with 42 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead Liaoning to a 112-111 victory. Hudson was the 2013-2014's CBA regular season foreign MVP for Xinjiang, but didn't hold off on putting on a big performance against his former team.

Liaoning small forward He Tianju also had a big contribution adding 27 points while showing off his range shooting 5-of-8 from behind the arc. Center Han Dejun put up 14 points, 11 rebounds and made a critical free throw with 16 seconds left to give Liaoning the 112-111 lead and clinch another win.
On the other side for Xinjiang, former NBA players Jordan Crawford and Andray Blatche put up huge games for the Tigers. Hudson may have stolen the spotlight with his triple-double, but Crawford was the leading scorer finishing the night with 49 points. Andray Blatche contributed 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists.
In related news, the returning champion Beijing Ducks blew out the Shanghai Sharks with a 119-94 win. Six players scored in double-figures for Beijing, although their star player Stephon Marbury struggled with just five points. Second-pick of the 2008 NBA Draft Michael Beasley finished the game with 25 points and 9 rebounds for Shanghai who's yet to win a game.
