THE Brunei Barracudas got themselves into the Asean Basketball League (ABL) record books on Sunday for all the wrong reasons.
The Brunei outfit found themselves on the receiving end of another beating against the Singapore Slingers as they went down as the team that allowed the most points scored by an opponent, as well as the team with the largest losing margin.
The Slingers needed a win and it was clear they knew what they had to do never taking their foot off the pedal, humiliating the Barracudas with a 102-61 scoreline, enroute to becoming the first team to break the century mark in the two-year-old league.
The triumph also means that the Barracudas have yet to defeat the Slingers in six meetings since the inaugural season.
The Slingers were relentless on defence and held Brunei's first professional team to without a single field goal in the first quarter.
The game seemed over when the scoreboard read 27-2 at the end of the first stanza with the Barracudas' two points coming via Chris Garnett from the charity stripe.
It seemed like there was no way back for the Barracudas with the Slingers leading comfortably at 52-20 at halftime. Read More…
