Upper Group:

Sylvia Fowles and Breanna Stewart each had efficient games for their teams as Beijing pulled into first place on Saturday with a big start in an 87-63 win over Shanghai.  Guangdong shelled Shenyang for the first three quarters, negating any advantages the visitors could have in the final frame in an 82-55 win.  Henan looks likely to plummet to the bottom of the standings until they can find a replacement player for Chiney Ogwumike. Sun Jie had a solid game, but they still lost to Jewell Loyd, Wu Tongtong, and Shanxi 84-57.
