After suffering five consecutive defeats recently, the Taoyuan Pauian Archiland Leopards, who dropped to sixth place, faced the Taipei Taishin Mars today at home. Although they were down by as much as 17 points in the first half, the Leopards regained their shooting touch in the second half, especially with local stars Gao Jinwei and Lin Xinkuan scoring in turn, ultimately achieving a comeback victory with a score of 100 to 97, thus ending their five-game losing streak.

The Leopards have faced consecutive losses due to a shortage of personnel, while the Mars, after experiencing five consecutive defeats, recently rebounded and secured two victories, improving their record. The visiting Mars performed steadily in the first half, particularly with shooter Huang Conghan, who made four three-pointers and scored 15 points, helping the Mars to take a 17-point lead.

However, the Leopards' players gradually found their offensive rhythm in the second quarter, with Lin Xinkuan scoring 10 points during that period, assisting the Leopards in narrowing the deficit to just 4 points before halftime. After the halftime break, the Leopards continued their counterattack, with Lin Xinkuan maintaining his strong performance from beyond the arc, while foreign players AJ and Tuba frequently broke through the Mars' defense, helping the Leopards achieve a 2-point lead by the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, both teams entered a tug-of-war, and with 17 seconds remaining, the Mars cut the deficit to 1 point with a layup from McLaren. The Mars then tried to control the clock through fouls, but the Leopards' Tuba hit both of his free throws. The Mars' final offensive attempt failed, with Ding Shengru facing defense and taking a desperate three-point shot, which ultimately did not touch the rim, allowing the Leopards to end their five-game losing streak with a 3-point margin.

Lin Xinkuan set a career-high with 25 points, delivering an excellent performance. Tuba contributed 18 points, Gao Jinwei had 11 points and 5 assists, while AJ recorded 15 points and 16 rebounds. For the Mars, Miller scored 22 points, McLaren had 18 points, and both Huang Conghan and Meierman each added 17 points. Besides his new scoring high, Lin Xinkuan also recorded 11 rebounds and 4 assists, hitting 7 of 10 from the free-throw line. He mentioned breaking free from his slump, stating: "Today felt overall happy; I was not in good shape before, but the encouragement from my teammates and coaches kept my confidence high, and today I finally did it. My three-point shooting percentage has not been good recently, so I wanted to help the team in other ways, going to the free-throw line was a good way."
