Jason Brickman and Kaohsiung weathered a Jordan Heading storm, outlasting Taichung Wagor in overtime, 122-113, in the 2021-22 T1 League season, Monday at National Taiwan University of Sport Gymnasium.

Coming off a 3-of-12 shooting game against Taoyuan yesterday, Heading bounced back, dropping 36 points on 13-of-26 shooting from the field, 7-of-17 from downtown.

Anthony Tucker had a chance to win the game in regulation but missed with 1.1 seconds left that sent the game in extra time.

Brickman and the Aquas took charge in overtime, scoring the first 10 points with Mindaugas Kupšas, Brickman, Hu Longmao, and Yu Huanyu putting up the buckets.

Though Heading knocked down his seventh trey with 27.5 seconds left, the lead was still six.
