The Beijing Ducks smashed the Bayi Rockets 95-75 to extend their winning streak to four games in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league here on Friday.

Jeremy Lin finished with 20 points and eight assists, while Ekpe Udoh had 16 points and four blocks for Beijing. Fang Shuo came off the bench for 17 points and six assists.

Beijing led from start to finish against the bottom-side Bayi, who had just defeated the Xinjiang Flying Tigers to record their first victory since the CBA resumed on June 30.

With Lin hitting a jumper at the buzzer, Beijing went on a 12-4 run to lead 75-60 heading into the last quarter, and Bayi never managed to cut the deficit.

Bayi's Zou Yuchen and Fu Hao scored 16 and 15 points respectively.
