Hitech looked well-organized offensively handing out 34 assists comparing to just 17 passes made by Adroit's players. Center Emmanuel Ejesu (203-2004) orchestrated the victory by scoring 16 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field). American power forward Ryan Watkins (206-1991, college: Boise St., agency: Slash Sports) contributed with 8 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals for the winners. Ukrainian swingman Sergii Pryimak (204-1996, agency: BIG) answered with 19 points and 8 rebounds for Adroit. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Hitech maintains third place with 1-2 record having six points less than leader Xac Broncos, which they share with Metal. It was Adroit's third loss in a row. Defending Singapore champion still closes the standings with three games lost. Hitech is looking forward to face league's second-placed Kings in Taipei in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Adroit will play again on the road against Hitech in Bangkok and hopes to get finally their first victory.
An interesting game for Mongolian Broncos (3-0) which played against 4th placed Singapore Adroit (0-3). Leader Broncos had an easy win 87-41. Canadian center Jordy Tshimanga (211-1996, college: Dayton, agency: Interperformances) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 11 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) for the winners and Tushig Elbeg chipped in 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Ukrainian swingman Oleksandr Kolchenko (195-1988, agency: BIG) responded with 14 points. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Broncos have a solid series of three victories in a row. Xac Broncos maintains first place with 3-0 record. Defending Singapore champion Adroit still closes the standings with three games lost. Xac Broncos will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
