Jeremy Pargo hit a buzzer-beater three-pointer in Guangsha's 100-97 victory over defending champions Beijing in Sunday's Chinese Basketball League (CBA).

Stephon Marbury put Beijing in lead at 97-95 as he made in a jump-shot with 19.3 seconds to the end of the match. Pargo answered with a reverse lay-up to tie the score at 97-97. Beijing missed their winning chance and could only witness Guangsha revenging for their 104-134 loss in Beijing.

Pargo finished with a match-high 32 points, along with nine assists and three steals. Wang Zheng played a figure role in Guangsha's victory. The center only played the final period but took nine points and drew two fouls. Eli Holman helped with a double-double of 25 points and 13 boards.
