-Ben Sim and Stingers mates keep their NBT Basketball Tournament crown 
"DEFENCE wins championships" and that held true for the SKS Stingers.
The Stingers made it a double after edging Istana Maintenance Department (IMD) 79-71 in the final of the Inter-Company NBT Basketball Tournament at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat last night.
Stingers head coach Rhaul Palma Jr deployed a man-to-man defence strategy for the whole game and it delivered them the title for the second straight year.
"Our game plan was to play man-to-man and to pressure their key players. It made it hard for them to receive the ball and it paid off. Defence won us the game," said Palma during an interview with The Brunei Times yesterday.
"There is no Man of the Match, but instead the whole team contributed to the win," he added.
Three players hit double figures for the champions with Rhajnee Sinco putting up a strong showing with game-high 29 points to pace the Stingers. Read More…

Stingers home in on double
Saturday, June 2, 2012
-Defending champions take on IMD in final today
THE SKS Stingers are only one win away from a double in the Inter-Company NBT Basketball Tournament.
They are riding a 17-game unbeaten streak in the two-year history of the competition.
Only Istana Maintenance Department (IMD) stand in their way as they face off in the final today at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.
The Stingers were made to work after beating DST Communications 81-65 in the semi-finals on Thursday.
IMD, meanwhile, defeated Hyatt 81-62 in the other semi-final match to set up the encounter.
However, all is stacked in favour of the defending champions after they blasted their way to a 92-63 demolition of IMD in the group stage.
It is said that all streaks must come an end. Will IMD be able to pull out all the stops and cause an upset?
Stingers head coach Rhaul Palma Jr thinks otherwise and believes that they should be the last team standing after the game.
"We're prepared for them and we have our game plan ready," said Palma Jr in an interview with The Brunei Times yesterday. Read More…

It's Stingers vs IMD in the final BASKETBALL
Friday, June 1, 2012
THE SKS Stingers survived a late scare to progress to the Inter-Company NBT Basketball Tournament final after beating DST Communications 81-65 last night. The only unbeaten team in the competition's two-year history, the defending champions pulled away in the second quarter and took a 50-26 lead heading into the second half at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.
But a lack of urgency on both ends of the court meant they were almost punished late in the third quarter when DST pulled out all the stops to claw back to 11 points.
Though they ran out of steam mid-way through the final period, DST deserve credit for their gutsy effort and succeeded in providing the crowd an entertaining end to the semi-final clash.
SKS will meet Istana Maintenance Department (IMD in tomorrow's final at 7:30pm, IMD beating Hyatt 81-62 in last night's other semi-final.
Justin Yong was a big reason DST were able to edge back into last night's game, the lanky centre leading all scorers with 29 points 17 of them in the second half.
Both sides were head-to-head in the opening exchanges until DST went on a cold spell half-way through the quarter, which ended with an Alwin Lavarias baseline jumper which gave SKS a 10-point lead at 22-12. Read More…
