Fiba Asia: Taiwan upsets China

In a stunner, Chinese Taipei has defeated defending Fiba Asia Champion, China, 96-78. Chinese Taipei is now set to play Iran in the seminfinals. 

China's twin towers lineup lorded it over the Taiwanese in the first half of the match. In the 3rd period, Taipei cut into the Chinese's lead with three point shooting, stifling zone defense, and quick slashing to the basket. 

Quincy Davis led Taipei with 26 points, while China was paced by former NBA-er Yi Jianlian. 

54 minutes and change before Gilas Pilipinas plays Kazakhstan. It's win or go home time! 

Winner plays Korea or Qatar in the Semis.
