1st Slingers' Game in TWO years....

It was such a long time I last watched a game of "live" basketball, as most of my peers know me as a "football" man and not a "hoop" man.

So after a two-year absence, I was back in Singapore Indoor Stadium, the home of the ABL's Singapore Slingers, to catch the island's sole professional cagers in action.

Just a short scribe on the match....

The Slingers dominated large part of the game with a huge 27-point margin after the first two-quarters over the visiting Satria Muda from Indonesia.

But the guests regrouped themselves after the half-time break and gave the home team a good account of themselves.

Unfortunate for them, the Indonesians paid the price for some poor finishing that was well-matched by the equally strong Slingers' defence in the first two quarters and ultimately paid the price for their defeat.
