Jeremy Lin’s double-double not enough as Beijing Ducks lose to table-topping Southern Tigers

Jeremy Lin's double-double was not enough as his Beijing Ducks fell 93-78 to Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league leaders Guangdong Southern Tigers on Sunday.

Former NBA star Lin dropped 26 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, sinking four-of-five from deep at the Wukesong Arena.

Lin's early scoring blitz helped the Ducks take the lead at half-time before the Tigers reverted to their usual high-scoring selves.

The 31-year-old Taiwanese-American posted several game highlights onto his Instagram story with the caption “Hao qiu”, which is Pinyin for good ball.

Fellow Ducks star Justin Hamilton helped with 25 points and grabbed a game-high 17 board but it was not enough for in-form Tigers.
