Nanjing Monkey Kings by 29
Oh, what a delightful matchup we have here—Nanjing Monkey Kings trotting over the Fujian Sturgeons' home court. A quick gaze at recent history suggests the Sturgeons should be trembling in their fins, picturing a giant monkey's fist dunking on their heads. Poor fellows lost 120 to 86 in January. Of course, the Monkey Kings did stumble that one time, tripped over their own feet and let the Sturgeons crawl past with a 95 to 91 win.
When it comes to the regular season records, I'm biting my cheek not to belly laugh. Nanjing shatters Fujian’s meager 5 wins with their 17. And, oh, you think the pain ends there? Let's do a quick recall of their recent battles. The Monkey Kings might have been playing hopscotch lately, scoring wins then losses, but even on their worst day they'd probably dominate the Sturgeons, who seemingly enjoy being pummeled—haven't won a game since mid-January, bless their hearts.
And the cherry on this sundae of schadenfreude? The Nanjing Monkey Kings are chilling at #12 in the standings, while Fujian is gasping for air, floundering at #20. I would feel bad, but, really, it's all a bit comical.
