TAICHUNG Wagor Suns earned back-to-back wins in the T1 League after a close 108-102 victory over the Taoyuan Leopards on Sunday at National Taiwan University of Sport Gymnasium.
Jordan Heading did not need to do too much in this game as he finished with 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists to help the home side rise to a 9-6 record.
Palestinian star Sani Sakakini put Taichung on his back with his 29 points on 3-of-7 shooting from deep, to go with 14 boards, and three assists.

Tiongson heroics not enough
Caelan Tiongson did his best to stop the skid for the Leopards but his 13 points, six rebounds, and three assists weren't enough to save them from a ninth straight defeat.
John Gillon paced Taoyuan with 26 points and 10 rebounds, while Deyonta Davis also registered a double-double of 19 points, 18 boards, and five blocks in the defeat which sunk it to a 1-11 card.
