For Sichuan, Han took a team-high 23 points and Cambage added 21 points and 11 rebounds. Backcourt duo Wang Siyu and Li Meng, who were decisive in Sichuan's 29-9 fourth quarter, combined for 30 points and five assists.
Both Sichuan and Inner Mongolia had 34-2 regular-season records to directly enter the quarterfinals, before achieving clean sweeps in the quarterfinals and semifinals to set up their duel.
