Rans Pik is looking forward to face bottom-ranked Borneo (#14) in Pontianak in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Satria Muda will have a break next round.
Hangtuah's fans can celebrate the first win of their team after one consecutive losses. The victory is especially important as it came on the road game in Salatiga, where they defeated Satya Wacana (0-2) 70-61. American players dominated the game. Worth to mention a great performance of Zoran Talley (198-1994, college: Iowa St.) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 20 points and 11 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) and Nick Faust who added 21 points and 8 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side Tyree Robinson (196-1995, college: A&M-Commerce) responded with 27 points and 5 rebounds. Satya Wacana's coach Jerry Lolowang rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Hangtuah (1-1) left bottom position moving up to eighth place, which they share with Prawira. Satya Wacana at the other side still closes the standings with two games lost. They share the position with Pacific Caesar. Hangtuah will play against Prawira (#9) in Bandung in the next round. Satya Wacana will play at home against Pelita Jaya and hopes to get finally their first victory.
Bottom-ranked Borneo is still unable to win any game. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their third consecutive match to fifth ranked Bali Utd. (3-1) 79-64 on Sunday evening. American players dominated also this game. The winners were led by Xavier Cannefax who scored that evening 30 points and 9 rebounds. Even a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds by Travion Leonard did not help to save the game for Borneo. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Bali Utd. moved-up to second place. Loser Borneo still closes the standings with three games lost. They share the position with Bima Perkasa. Bali Utd. will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Borneo will play against Rans Pik (#4) and looks forward to get finally their first victory.

In the last game of round 4 Rajawali smashed Bima Perkasa on the road 76-52.
The most impressive performance of 4th round was 29 points and 7 rebounds by Quintin Dove of Rajawali.
