Eleven games into the 2014-15 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) season and the Liaoning Flying Leopards still find themselves undefeated following a nail-biting win in overtime against the Guangdong Southern Tigers on Nov. 26.
The game was full of back and forth runs between the two ball clubs. Liaoning (#1) opened the game on a 7-0 run, but was quickly answered by Guangdong (#3) with a 7-0 run of their own.

Guangdong ended up dominating the first quarter though with a 27-15 advantage and outpacing Liaoning by 15 points at the end of the first-half.
Guangdong continued their success in the third quarter and held a 14-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, leading many to think Liaoning would finally be defeated.
However, the Leopards came back firing on all cylinders outscoring the Tigers 36-22 in the fourth quarter while tying up the score and forcing the game into overtime where Liaoning went on to win by just four points.
The team now has a record of 11-0, which is currently the longest win streak for Liaoning in CBA history.
While Liaoning remaining undefeated may have stole the spotlight of the night, Guangdong's veteran small-forward Zhu FangYu put up a huge 34-point game and has officially become the first CBA player to reach 10,000 points for his professional basketball career. The 31-year-old shot 8-of-16 from behind the arc to extend his points-total to 10,007.
Meanwhile, Liaoning's shooting guard and former NBA player Lester Hudson continues to have huge performances in China, as he led all scorers with 36 points while adding 8 rebounds and 3 assists to help the Leopards remain undefeated.
