Scott Sill
Here is the last round review presented by ESL.
The game in supposed to be quite interesting. Mad Goat (4-0) played at the court of Shoot it Dragon (2-2). Mad Goat smashed Shoot it Dragon 82-61 on Saturday. Mad Goat dominated down low during the game scoring 60 of its points in the paint compared to Shoot it Dragon's 22. They outrebounded Shoot it Dragon 54-39 including a 42-28 advantage in defensive rebounds. Mad Goat looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. It was a great evening for American forward Scott Sill (206-92, college: Delaware St., agency: AgainHello) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 14 points, 17 rebounds and 4 assists. Center Anecha Kongpui (190) helped adding 26 points. The best for the losing side was forward Joel Brrokenbrough (200) with a double-double by scoring 15 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Mad Goat are looking forward to face MUBC (#10) in Vietnam in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Shoot it Dragon will play against SWU (#8) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
The game in was also worth to mention about. Thunders (1-2) played at the court of Raptors (2-1). Raptors did not have too big problems and got a relatively easy victory 75-58. It was an exceptional evening for American center Anthony McClain (211-88, college: Cincinnati) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 15 rebounds. Avery Scharer accounted for 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Cameroonian forward Gabriel Yeumo (200-88) came up with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 14 rebounds for Thunders in the defeat. Thunders' coach rotated twelve players seeing no chance for a win. Raptors will play against T-REX (#9) in Nakhon Ratchasima in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Thunders will play on the road against Bangkok Tigers and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
TGE (3-0) crushed at home SWU (1-3) by 37 points 92-55, which is the biggest margin this round on Saturday night. The best player for the winners was Anucha Langsui who scored 30 points and 9 rebounds. At the other side the best for losing team was Olaseni Songbesan who recorded 11 points and 9 rebounds. TGE will meet Hitech in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. SWU will play against Shoot it Dragon (#5) and hope to win that game.
In the last two games of round 3 Bangkok Tigers destroyed MUBC on the opponent's court 87-55. Winless T-REX lost to defending champion Hitech in a home game 68-84.

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.
