Jeremy Lin sealed a dramatic victory for the Beijing Ducks on Sunday night in the Chinese Basketball Association.

With time running down in their game against the Shenzhen Aviators and the Ducks down 100-99 at home, Lin drew a foul on a three-point attempt and then scored all three of his free throws to make the score 102-100 for the Ducks.

Lin finished with 25 points. He also had six boards and served up four assists in his 34 minutes on court. The win takes the Ducks to 10-4 for the season and fifth on the standings.

Guangzhou Loong Lions are next up at the Cadillac Arena on Tuesday. The Ducks won their last encounter 105-83 when they met last month.

It was an emotional night in Beijing as the game also served as a tribute to former Ducks player Ji Zhe, who died of lung cancer last week aged 33.

The three-time CBA winner was honoured by both players and mascots wearing jerseys with his shirt number, No 51, before the game. Many of the Ducks players were in tears.
