up Bank of Taiwan with a superior fourth quarter to escape with a 92-90 triumph at the Banciao Gymnasium in New Taipei City last night for their eighth win of the season.
Chou Yi-hsiang’s clutch drive to the hoop over two Bank of Taiwan defenders with 3.5 seconds remaining on the clock broke a 90-90 tie for the Cats, as they outfought the Financial Wizards in the closing minute to steal the match from the Bankers, who definitely played well enough to win.
“I just tried to do my job with the game on the line and the rest sort of took care of itself,” Chou said of his game-winning shot.
