IT was sweet revenge for the Barracudas staging a late show to defeat the KL Dragons 80-63 last night in their Asean Basketball League (ABL) match at the Indoor Stadium of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas.

Their second straight victory at home, Leo Avenidez topscored for the Barracudas with 24 points and Mike Pilgrim added a double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds.

The Barracudas' other American import Reggie Larry also contributed a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds to his name.

Chris Kuete led the Dragons with a game-high 24 points and hauled down 17 boards for his double-double while Roel Hugnatan chipped in 12 points to a losing cause.

Having started the final stanza with a 59-53 edge, the Barracudas played good defence and were making their shots down the stretch as they extended their lead to as much as 18 points.

The momentum had clearly shifted as the Dragons couldn't find any rhythm on offence.

They were outscored 10-21 in the period to allow the Barracudas to cruise to victory.

Last night was the third time the two teams had met with the Barracudas picking up their first victory in the inaugural league with a 94-76 win over the Dragons at the Maba Stadium on Oct 14 in their first meeting. Read More…
