Brunei team beat Satria Muda to put one foot into the playoffs

THE Barracudas last night put one foot into the playoffs with an 85-81 victory over Satria Muda BritAma in their Asean Basketball League (ABL) match at the Indoor Stadium of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex.
The win is their fourth straight at home with all five imports in double figures. American Mike Pilgrim led the way with 26 points for the hosts.

Filipino import, Leo Avenido, had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds while compatriots Don Camaso and Francis 'Kiko' Adriano chipped in 16 and 15 points respectively.

Another American Reggie Larry also had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
On the other hand, Nakiea Miller had a game-high 32 points and hauled down 16 rebounds for a double-double to lead Satria Muda. Alexander Hartman contributed 19 points in a losing effort.

It was a closely contested affair right from the start with Satria Muda applying full court pressure defence causing the Barracudas to make turnovers.

The Indonesian side managed to open up a five-point lead in the period, but Avenido converted on a three-point play towards the end of the quarter to tie the scores at 20 apiece going into the second period. Read More...
