Hosts China pulled off a comeback for the ages on Thursday and beat Korea on Day 2 of the #FIBAAsia2015.

Trailing by 20 points, Gong Luming's side got off the canvas and took the lead in the final minute before recording a 76-73 win.

Zhou Qi, who had a sensational game, dunked with 56 seconds remaining to put China in front for good, although the Far East giants needed a fearless drive into the lane and lay-up from Guo Ailun with eight seconds remaining for a 74-71 lead.

After each team made two free-throws, Korea had the ball for one last attempt to tie the contest. They heaved the ball up the floor to Cho Sungmin and he was able to launch a three-point attempt from the left wing without being fouled but his shot was off target.

Zhou Qi provided energy on both ends of the floor and scored the majority of his team-high 21 points in the fourth quarter as China improved to 2-0 in Group C and Korea slumped to 1-1.

The other Group C game saw Jordan rebound from their opening day setback to Korea with a 98-68 drubbing of Singapore.

In Group D, Qatar edged a double-overtime thriller against Lebanon, winning 105-100.

Qatar had beaten Kazakhstan on opening day in overtime.

Kazakhstan rebounded from that 79-75 defeat on Day 1 by beating Chinese Taipei, 84-73.

In Group B, Sani Sakakini and Jamal Abu Shamala wreaked havoc for the second day in a row as Palestine blew out Kuwait, 90-69.

The Philippines bounced back on Thursday against Hong Kong, winning 101-50.

Gilas got great games from Jayson Castro, Andray Blatche, Terrence Romeo, and Dondon Hontiveros, and led from start to finish.

In Group A, India stuck with Iran for one whole half before the defending champions broke the game open and prevailed, 88-66.

Mohammad Hassanzadeh’s 18 points led the Iranians, whose Mahdi Kamrani and Samad Nikkhah Bahrami contributed 13 and 12 points, respectively.

Japan started strong and never let up in their demolition job of lowly Malaysia, 119-48.

The Japanese scored 32 points in the first quarter and limited their foes to just nine to set the tone for the entire game.

Keijuro Matsui had 25 points to lead the way for Japan.
