Love Justin and Shan Tao helped the short-handed Beijing Olympians stun the Jiangsu Dragons 100-91 at the 12th round of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league in Beijing on Thursday.

Justin had 31 points and 12 rebounds, while Shan added 13 points and eight rebounds.

Olympians played Dragons with only nine players, as Yuan Zhennan and Zhong Weiguo were not allowed to take part in because of the vicious fouls last Sunday, when Olympians played a "derby match" with the Beijing Ducks.

However, the Olympians overwhelmed their opponents in the fourth quarter by booming a 7-0 run at the early stage and extending their advantage with a 12-3 run to end the game.

Simon Haley led the Dragons with 31 points. Tao Zhengdong added25 and 16 rebounds, but the Dragons were short on 3-pointers, only18-1.
