Shanghai extends win streak to 22

On April 20, the CBA regular season continued as league leaders Shanghai hosted Liaoning. Shanghai had previously rattled off 21 straight wins and had already secured first place in the league standings.

In this game, Shanghai once again showcased its dominance and strong recent form, cruising to a 114–80 blowout victory to extend its winning streak to 22 games.

After this matchup, Shanghai’s home schedule for the season came to an end. They finished 21–0 at home—marking the team’s first perfect home season since the 2001–02 championship campaign. Shanghai will close the regular season on the road against Shandong, aiming for a 23-game winning streak.

In another game played at the same time, Sichuan fell 85–101 to Jiangsu. With the loss, Sichuan’s losing streak has now reached 41 straight games.

In their final game of the season, Sichuan will host sixth-place Zhejiang. Sichuan is in danger of finishing the season winless—a dubious single-season record that the team could very likely set this week.
