Bayi hoped to carry momentum from their dramatic series win home with them for the start of the Finals on Saturday, but Beijing immediately put an end to that with a 92-57 win. Sylvia Fowles was productive when she was in the game, helping build up a lead that would be secure no matter what happened in the final quarter. Beijing came out on fire with the added rest and now have the chance to take care of business at home starting with Game 2 on Tuesday.
