HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese basketball club Saigon Heat continued their perfect start to the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) season on Wednesday, beating CLS Knights in Indonesia 七 六- 六 四 in their third game.
It was the first away win for the Heat, having racked up two home wins previously.
The Heat dominated the game from the opening whistle and held a 三 五- 二 七 lead at the half, thanks in large part to a three-point barrage.
The hosts then fought back to narrow the gap to two points in the third quarter. However, led by Trevon Hughes, who scored 一 四 points in the third quarter, the Heat extended their lead to 五 五- 四 五.
In the final period, the visitors poured it on against the ineffective Indonesian side to secure the 七 六- 六 四 victory.
Hughes was named game MVP with 三0 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and two blocks.
The Heat next take on fellow table-toppers the Formosa Dreamers of Chinese Taipei at their home at CIS Arena in HCM City on Sunday. — VNS
