(Central News Agency reporter Chen Rongchen, Taipei, 10th) Taipei Fubon Braves of Taiwan's professional basketball league P.LEAGUE+ defeated the Taoyuan Pauian Pilots 85-76 at home in Game 3 of the championship finals on Sunday. Import player Archie Goodwin scored a game-high 25 points, and local player Chou Kuei-yu added 12 points, giving the Braves a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The PLG uses a best-of-seven format. The Braves split the first two games on the road against the Pilots, 1-1. Returning home, the Braves corrected their defensive issues from the previous game, holding the Pilots to under 15% three-point shooting and limiting them to just 8 points in the final quarter, securing a 9-point victory.
In the first quarter, local Braves player Chou Kuei-yu showed aggression, hitting two three-pointers. Import player Michael Holyfield controlled the paint, but the Braves couldn't stop the Pilots' team play and fell behind early. However, "scoring machine" Archie Goodwin joined the scoring in the second quarter, helping the Braves take the lead.
The game remained close in the second half until import player Stefan Jankovic hit a crucial three-pointer to seal the win for the Braves. The Braves have regained the series lead and will look to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the next game.
Goodwin once again displayed his hot scoring touch, recording a game-high 25 points along with 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Holyfield contributed a double-double with 13 points and 16 rebounds, anchoring the team's interior defense. Chou Kuei-yu was the top local scorer with 12 points and 6 rebounds.
After the game, Chou told the media, "I haven't been in a good rhythm since the playoffs started, but I kept believing in myself. In the finals, we need more players to step up. I focused on defense in this game, and I'm happy to help the team win." (Editor: Yang Zhaoyan) 1150610
