A DISASTROUS second quarter by the Barracudas spelt their demise in yesterday's Asean Basketball League (ABL) match against Satria Muda BritAma.

Losing 98-84 at the BritAma Arena in Jakarta, Brunei's first professional basketball club suffered a scoring drought that ran for seven and a half minutes in the second period where they were outscored 33-10.

Despite the result, the Barracudas are still fourth in the six-team league while Satria Muda BritAma remain in second place behind the Philippine Patriots.

Leading 22-19 at the end of the first quarter, the Barracudas were on course to reverse the 97-62 loss suffered in their first meeting on Nov 8 at the same venue. However, their lead did not last long.

The Indonesians took a slim 27-26 advantage two minutes into the period through Nakiea Miller, and the visitors would never again be in the driving seat.

The league's best rebounder with 14.3 per game, Miller pulled down 15 boards yesterday.

Barracudas' Mike Pilgrim was substituted during a time-out at 7:55 as a result of picking up two quick fouls, and it was as if the team had pressed the self-destruct button. Read More…
