Wednesday, June 23, 2010
BRUNEI Shell Petroleum (BSP) held on to an 83-74 victory over Brunei Association of Banks (BAB) last night for their second straight win in
Group B of the men's basketball event of the 9th National Sports Festival (PSK) at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.
The triumph ensures that the team have passage into the semi-finals with one more game left in their group.
BSP produced a balanced offence with four players notching double figures. Esmond Tan had the game-high of 27 points while Mark See contributed 18 points. Enrico Quk Ho added 16 points while Foo Kian Ming chipped in 12 points in the win.
On the other hand, Cavan Kong scored 18 points to lead BAB and Kenny Lim poured in 18 points. Phung Say Shin and Koh Wee Chian chipped in 11 points in a losing effort.
Both teams got off to a slow start and the scoreline was locked at 8-6 in favour of BSP midway through the opening period. BAB were getting good looks but failed to get anything going with their shots from both the inside and outside rolling off the rim on several possessions. BSP exploited the situation and ended the quarter with a 17-6 run to open up a 25-12 advantage going into the second stanza.
Tan was getting doubled each time he touched the ball but would dish it to his teammates who would convert on the open shots. They were also driving through the baseline and attacking from inside the paint despite their size disadvantage. However, BSP unloaded their bench towards the end of the period and allowed BAB to crawl back into the game cutting the deficit to 41-32 at halftime. Read More...
