Bangkok, Sunday, February 5, 2012 — The Singapore Slingers’ four-game unbeaten streak came to an end when they went down 56-66 to the Thailand Slammers in overtime.

The Slingers had beaten the Slammers 74-63 at home earlier in the season.

The loss dropped the Slingers to a 4-2 win-loss record and they now lie second on the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) table after the Philippine Patriots (4-1). The Slammers’ second win in a row improved them to 3-3.

Trailing by three (40-43) at the start of the fourth quarter, the Slingers took the lead for the first time in the game with just under five minutes left on the clock through back-to-back baskets by Don Dulay and Louis Graham.

Chester Tolomia then put in a three-pointer to give the Slammers a one-point lead with just a little over a minute left to play but important blocks by Donald Little and Louis Graham in the last 10 seconds ensured the game would go into overtime at 51-51.

A Vaughn Canta three-pointer gave the Slingers a 56-55 lead but that proved to be the last points for the Slingers as the Slammers put together an 11-10 run to seal a 66-65 victory.

The Slingers next play the Patriots at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Sunday, February 12th.
