LeApple break 5-game losing streak
Monday, May 23, 2011
SOON Chin Long was LeApple Bakery's hero last night, scoring the game-winning shot to earn his team a 62-60 win against Yun Lee Motor Workshop in the Aewon Cup 2011. It was their first victory in five matches and it was largely thanks to Soon, who scored nine of his 13 points in the last quarter.
Lim Eng Ann added 15 points while Albert Chu contributed 11.
Tony Tan also played a pivotal role in the result after all, it was his defense-splitting pass to Soon with less than four seconds left that saw the latter score with an easy lay-up under the basket.
Soon also scored the last minute buzzer-beater which made it 51-51 to force overtime against Autoexperts the night before, though LeApple would eventually succumb 56-54.
There was no such heart-break last night though. Both LeApple and Yun Lee entered the game looking for their first win of the tournament at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat, and it was a close game throughout.
LeApple enjoyed a 19-11 lead at the end of the first quarter, extending it to 38-27 heading into the second half. But a strong third quarter performance by Yun Lee, where they outscored LeApple 20-9, meant the scoreboard was tied at 47-47 at the start of the final stanza.
Ak Muhd Faizuladzmi Pg Tajudin missed two free-throws but Yun Lee was still up 58-57 in the last two minutes, after which Paul Wong Chuan's shot after an airball by Koh Wie Chian made the lead 60-57. Read More…
