A team of former NBA stars led by Tracy McGrady earned a 93-86 victory over Liaoning Hunters from the Chinese Basketball Association league (CBA) here, in their sixth friendly game in the country.
Former NBA stars led by 29-19 for the first quarter but trailed by three points after the first half - 49-46, reports Xinhua.
McGrady, former Houston Rockets guard who also played for Qingdao DoubleStar in China, performed brilliantly during the last two quarters and led his team with 30 points and 10 assists to win the game late Friday night.
The US team has played in five cities starting from Oct 6 in South China's Liuzhou and will continue to play in another five cities with the last in southwestern Kunming Oct 28.
The team, on a three-week tour across China, also includes former NBA stars Ater Majok, Brandon Robinson and others.
