I invited my friend Xiu Yan to the game last Tue. The game was held in Singapore Indoor Stadium as usual. When we arrived, the game already started. We sat with other bloggers in Box T34. The audience were less than last game, when many Filipino fans came to support their favourite team. I also suspect the timing as a weekday night may not be very appealing. But the cheering was still as high as previous games.
These two teams have met in Brunei Cup, and Slingers have won by slight margin. But this time Slingers have won nicely (91-65). The game was very tight during 1st half, but Slingers began to lead during 2nd half. There were a lot of 3-pts, dunks and rebounds. The team star Darren Ng shot 33 pts, which has wowed everybody in the stadium. According to our Dear Doc, this is his highest record for the games in Singapore. Eric Sandrin has 16 pts, with many beautiful dunks. It is also good to watch JJ (the player with same birth date as me) playing for the first time. (He used to sit beside the DJ updating game scores.) Pathman was not in S’pore on that day. According to Darren, Pathman and Desmond were in the national team competing in Taiwan.

I was sitting a bit far, so the figures in the photo all look very small.
