The other American import guard Sameen Swint (193-1995, college: GBC) chipped in 25 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. At the other side the best for losing team was American JR Holder (198-1994, college: Jacksonville) who recorded a double-double by scoring 13 points and 10 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Warriors maintains fourth position with 4-4 record.
