I was unable to attend the match up between the Singapore Slingers and Thailand Tigers due to work commitments yesterday. After checking the scores upon returning home, I was rather disheartened to learn that our home team lost again, 65-62 at home to the 5th seed visitors. However, given that they had a good run during the first few matches of their Asean Basketball League (ABL) campaign, the Slingers remain second in the league table at 5-3, but trailing further from the Philippine Patriots’ stellar performances with 7-1.
Unlike my previous posts on the Slingers matches, there are no photos and match review. With that, allow me to leave you with some write ups from various sites:
- Thailand Shock Win in Singapore from the Singapore Slingers’ website
- Thailand Tigers Turn Their Game Around To Deliver Shock Defeat To Singapore Slingers from the ABL website
- Singapore Slingers fall to second straight home defeat with 65-62 loss to Thailand Tigers from Redsports’ website
Of course its easy for us to dig up excuses like a disruption due to a two-week break or fatigue, but let’s be honest, the Slingers do require some soul searching and a chance at redemption when they meet the Tigers again at home on 17 December, 8pm. Will the Slingers extend their drought or use the 10-day break to pick up the pieces and return to their winning ways? Tickets are available at Sistic… 
Goooooo Slingers!!

Watched the game from my hotel room in Cambodia. Thailand was really giving the game away by missing FTs; our locals choked with TOs at the final mins…nailbiting but also disappointing.
yep yep yep Goooooo Slingers!!
