On October 17, the CBA regular season continued with Xinjiang defeating Beikong 114-111. Xinjiang had a significant lead of up to 20 points in the first half, but defensive issues in the second half allowed Beikong to catch up. However, Lawson and Peterson carried the team’s offense, combining for 59 points and 16 rebounds to secure the win.
Lawson played for 34 minutes, scoring 34 points and grabbing 12 rebounds on 11-of-20 shooting. His consecutive three-pointers in the second half were crucial in suppressing Beikong’s comeback.
Peterson played for 27 minutes, scoring 25 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and dishing out 6 assists on 8-of-20 shooting. Although his shooting efficiency dropped significantly in the second half due to Beikong’s targeted defense, Peterson effectively fulfilled his role as a point guard by facilitating plays and creating opportunities for his teammates.
