Lim Yih Yuan poured in 13 points in what was their second loss in as

"We're trying to show that we are one of the strong teams. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the main match and it's going to be 50/50 on whether we can win the game," said Requintin in an interview with The Brunei Times after the victory.
Requintinsingled out Plaza Sutra Biru, who they face at 8.30pm today.

worked together as a team," added the Shark captain.
When asked on what he feels the main threats from Plaza Sutra Biru would be, Requintin replied: "They have big men that can shoot outside and their a fast team. Read More...
