CS COLD Storage completed a sweep of Group B of the Goh Hock Kee (GHK) Trophy Men's Basketball Tournament with a 71-63 comeback win over LSL Chainblock last night at the Tutong Chung Hwa Middle School Basketball court in Tutong.

In what was their fourth straight win, three players hit double figures for the favourites of the competition with Lim Liang Wei pouring in a game-high of 29 points. Leong Ming Seng also had good output with 18 points while Khoo Chin Kai chipped in 12 in the victory.

Chainblock showcased a balanced offence with five players notching double figures.

Leonard Ong was the topscorer of the team with 14 points. Ting Nin added 12 points while the duo of Teck Chong and Herculanus Ong each chipped in 11 points. Hii Wei had 10 points to his name in the loss.

Cold Storage started slowly while their opponents went right to work to attack the basket. They opened up a 15-5 lead going into the second quarter.

Leong, who had 14 second quarter points, had the hot hands shooting the ball for Cold Storage.

Chainblock lost their lead soon enough and trailed 31-30 at halftime.

It was a low scoring affair after the break as neither team could put the ball through the hoop.

The scoreboard read 36-32 in favour of Cold Storage midway through the stanza before Chainblock picked up the defence to go on a 10-0 run.

But Cold Storage would close out the 10-minute frame strongly to get back in front 47-46 going into the fourth period. Read More...
