A flurry of fouls cost them dearly as Perak Farmcochem lost 74-73 to Miri Fire Horse in the 2011 National Basketball League (NBL) finals.
Farmcochem shot themselves in the foot after conceding eight fouls in the first quarter alone, and had to see their main man Chris Kuete sit out most of the game with four fouls as Miri was virtually uncontested in their first appearance in the finals at the MABA Stadium.
