San Juan, Manila, Wednesday, February 17, 2010 – The Philippine Patriots have put themselves within touching distance of the inaugural ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) championship with a resounding 72-53 victory over Satria Muda BritAma in Game 2 of the best-of-five finals.
Patriots coach Louis Alas had called for a more sustained defensive effort and got it this time, holding the Indonesian champions to just 53 points.
With a 2-0 lead, the series now shifts to Jakarta where Satria Muda will be hoping that their home court will be as kind to them as Manila was to the Patriots. With their backs to the walls, Satria Muda need some inspiration to get anywhere near the Patriots, who are still unbeaten after adding import Gabe Freeman to their lineup.
