Singapore Basketball Centre, Friday, July 4, 2014 — North Vista Secondary (NVSS) defeated Marsiling Secondary (MSL) 85–20 in their second game of the first round of the North Zone C Division Boys’ Basketball Championship.

North Vista have a 2–0 win-loss record, while Marsiling are 0–2.

Tiong Chuan Yao (NVSS #10) led all scorers with 21 points, while teammate Terry Tong (NVSS #5) had 15 points. North Vista came off strong and never trailed in the game.

The first quarter was rather fast paced. North Vista had a 15-point run before Tan Zhi Yong (MSL #10) scored Marsiling’s first basket. North Vista took a 17–2 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Marsiling were unable to break North Vista’s strong defence. North Vista performed well in their passing and shooting. Terry Tong (NVSS #5), despite his small physical size, was seen making many shots over taller defenders. North Vista performed well in terms of teamwork and communication, which allowed them to make accurate passes to their teammates.

Marsiling had multiple turnovers in the fourth quarter of the game, which created more opportunities for North Vista. North Vista took every scoring chance they had to score 37 points in the quarter, taking the eventual 85–20 win.

North Vista will next play Edgefield Secondary, while Marsiling will play Woodlands Seconday on Tuesday, July 9. Both games will be played at the Singapore Basketball Centre.
