Miao Lijie scored a game-high 20 points to lead China's 60-58
win over Cuba at the four-nation women's basketball tournament on
Saturday.
China jumped to a 5-0 lead at the beginning but the Cubans
responded with a 6-0 burst to make it 6-5 before the first quarter
ended 14-13 in favor of the visitors.
The second quarter went to the Chinese way as they took a 17-5 run
for a 34-30 half time lead.
The Cubans gave China a scare in the last minutes, hitting two
three-pointers. But the Chinese hang on to a slim lead for the
victory.
In the other game, Lithuania beat Canada 86-65.
