Le doux Patisserie/Sia N Tang Music connected on 16 three-pointers to demolish Chevrolet Cruze 92-61 in the last group game of the Aewon Cup 2011 last night at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.

Choo Yung Jian had the hot hands for Le doux Patisserie/Sia N Tang Music hitting eight treys enroute to a game-high of 28 points and Benjamin Lim, who missed his first eight shots, found his stroke to make four from beyond the arc to contribute 26 points in the victory.

Teo Hong Kiong was the only cager that hit double figures for Cruze with 10 points.

An encounter that didn't have anything much at stake saw both teams without their key players Ben Sim and Esmond Tan on the squad for Le doux Patisserie/Sia N Tang Music and Cruze respectively.

Consisting a squad of national cagers, Le Doux Patisserie/Sia N Tang Music started the second quarter with a 9-0 run, all coming from three-point territory.

Even if they didn't, they were outhustling Cruze for offensive rebounds that saw them extend their lead to 43-23 at halftime.

It remained the same affair after the break and Cruze were in no position to mount a comeback, leading to their first defeat in the tournament. Read More…
