Jakarta, Saturday, October 16, 2010 — The Thailand Slammers won their first away game today when they crushed Satria Muda 84-63. It was also their third consecutive win and they now have a 3-0 win-loss record and sit top of the ASEAN Basketball League.
The Slammers were up 44-29 at half-time and dominated the third quarter 28-18 to move into the fourth quarter leading by a massive 25 points at 72-47.
The Slammers were 29-of-60 (48%) from field-goal range and sank 10 of 22 (45%) three-point attempts. They outrebounded their hosts 49-29.
It was a poor shooting night for Satria Muda as they went 24-of-72 (33%) from field-goal range and a poor 3-of-28 (11%) from three-point range.
Slammers’ Jason Dixon had a double-double, scoring a game-high 28 points and 18 rebounds. Teammate Piyapong Piroon also stood out with 17 points, including a 5-of-11 performance from beyond the arc.
Satria Muda’s Jamal Holden led his team with a double-double, 17-point and 10-rebound contribution. Teammate Marcus Morrison added 15 points but he struggled from the field, shooting only 6-of-20 and was 1-of-8 from three-point range.
While the Slammers sit joint-top of the table with their unbeaten 3-0 record, Satria Muda drop to 1-2.
The Slammers will entertain the unbeaten Philippine Patriots at home next weekend on Saturday, October 23rd, while Satria Muda will entertain the visiting Brunei Barracudas on the same day.
