Stephon Marbury scored 27 points to lead Beijing Ducks to a 102-92 victory over Jiangsu Dragon in China's CBA league on Wednesday, while Tracy McGrady failed to earn Qingdao Doublestars's first win in the season despite his 35-point haul.

After a 23-8 start, Beijing enjoyed a 20-point advantage early in the second quarter and went on to seal its fourth straight home victory.

Marbury grabbed a team-high 27 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, as Randolph Morris had 24 points and 8 rebounds.

Micheal Harris clutched 28 points and 12 rebounds for Jiangsu, whose center Garret Siller had 21 points and 13 rebounds, while none of the domestic players scored double-digit.

McGrady trumped a head-to-head clash against former Houston Rockets teammate Von Wafer by scoring a game-high 35 points, only to see his team lose 121-114 away to Xinjiang.

Wafer, who made 7 out of 10 field goals, scored 25 points and domestic center Tang Zhengdong got a personal season-high 28 points.

It was Xinjiang's third straight win and Qingdao's 10 straight loss without a win in the season.
