China routs Taiwan to snare Asian Games bronze

China vented its ire for not making the finals on a hapless Chinese Taipei quintet as the host country scored a runaway 101-73 victory behind its torrid second half shooting to capture the bronze medal in the 19th Asian Games men's basketball tournament on Friday, October 6, at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China.

The Chinese got off to a slow first half after trailing by eight points at the close of the opening period but closed in at 46-49 at the halftime break.
