S15 - SBBL FINAL Game 2 : Shohoku Backers hang on to beat Pekanbaru Jaguars 92-76, tied series at 1-1.

Maybe they won't missed anyone down to injuries if Eldad Galam keep hitting shots at will. Galam took the charge at 4th quarter without Aniol Soler, racked up 15pts to protect their lead margin, preventing Jaguars to make any comeback attempt and ended their effort with final score 92-76.

Shohoku were enjoying early 1st half, leading 46-34 beyond Aniol Soler 14pts. Jaguars were still showing no life signal after 3rd quarter with 13pts deficit. Until the 4th quarter clock ticking down, Petrus Debrier tough drive in, basket and one sent Aniol Soler to his sixth Fouls and had to leave the court. And Jaguars try their final rally as Chantampakis and Petrus Alexandersson hits back to back midrange to bring Jaguars within 7, but here comes the tough Greeky Agilios Kostis, repeatedly taking advantage of aging Jaguars' Seki Skrebo with his ankle breaking drive and score. When Chantampakis trying to double team, Eldad Galam really made him pay, repeatedly hit semi-open midrange shots off the feed from Kostis. Jaguars still hanging on within 8 with 4 minutes to go, but unxecpectedly can't hit any shots they used to make.

Galam racked total of 25pts, Kostis with 19pts and 8ast, Aniol Soler has 18pts before fouling out just one minutes into 4th quarter. Hustlemen Jason Peachey grabbed 18rebs to go with his 11pts and 3dimes 2stl and 3blk. Meanwhile, Petrus Debrier was the one-man-show on Jaguars' side, racking team high 37pts, followed by Petrus Alexandersson 10pts and 22rebs. Chantampakis and Game 1 hero Seki Skrebo were woeful with 8 & 7pts. Sorin Niculae only played 26minutes, scored 2pts and 4ast.

The final game of this series will be hosted by Jaguars on tomorrow 6pm, live from Channel 5.

S15 - SBBL FINAL Game 3 : Shohoku Backers won back-to-back championship, edged Pekanbaru Jaguars 75-74.

Experience plays its best. Ask Sertug Acay and Agilios Kostis. They showed they still can survive without Cataldo Momente and the "not real" Aniol Soler.

Acay and Kostis scored 30 & 25 pts, beared with Soler poor performance, and Shohoku Backers gained their 2nd SBBL Championship by sinking Pekanbaru Jaguars with a heartbreak ways. The Jaguars were leading at most of the game, and on their way of the 1st ever league Championship. But the Backers, mostly silent on 2nd and 3rd quarter, suddenly were busy on the 4th, using 12-6 run to get within 4 points, and gained their 1st lead since 1st quarter 69-68 with a dunk by Sertug Acay. Acay, hampered again by foul trouble, survived this time as Jason Peachey were assigned to guard Petrus Alexandersson.

Shohoku were already lead 75-71 with 50 seconds to go, but Petrus Alexandersson scored 2 back-to-back baskets off Petrus Debrier steals. Jaguars actually still have the chance for the lead, but Petrus Debrier commited a fatal turnover, travelled with the ball. With the Backers possession under 30 seconds to go, Eldad Galam missed a 3pointer. After a Jaguars' timeout, they were struggling to get the ball to Petrus Alexandersson, and finally the ball has to go into Huo Xiang Song hands, and the bricked the tough layup over Jason Peachey. THe rebound were scrambled by Galam and SOrin Niculae, but when Niculae got the ball, the buzzer have already sounded, sent the whole Tribuana Stadium in silence, and whole Pekanbaru Jaguars players in tears.

"It's really tough", said Petrus Alexandersson. "We've heard a lot about matches with up and down result. Now we're the ones that on the bottom of the wheel. At least we've now seen the worst side of it. Hopefully we could come back again next season." Huo Xiang Song, still in his worst after the shot, were unavailable for comment.

Petrus Alexandersson led the Jaguars with usual monstrous 25pts 25rebs, followed by Petrus Debrier 19pts. Huo Xiang Song has 16pts and 10rebs. Thiseas Chantampakis has his worst with 3/19 FG though he grabbed 13rebs, Sorin Niculae were having 12asts but shot only 2/7.

With the victory, Shohoku Backers again will join Whampoa Allstars to represent Singapore for the Buzzer-Beater Best Tournament.

Omg! Finals decided by 1 point! Congrats on back to back championships. Tough luck big ben
