NT Game 2 - Singapore vs Japan
After sufferring a 78-111 defeat at the hands of Philippines, Singapore survived a Japan onslaught without their star player, Fang Shuangxiang who lasted only one minute and Aznan bin Ismail who was eliminated from the game with 6 fouls.
Without Shuangxiang, Yeo Tse Hui (with 28 points) and Huo Xiangsong (with 26 points) stepped up to lead Singapore to a 104-100 victory to the delight of the travelling fans. It was a very tensed finish as the game could have gone either way.
"I am very pleased with the teamwork and effort. Support by the fans was also fantastic." Eric also reserved praise for in-form 23 years old Xiangsong, "At the moment Xiangsong is in great form, although this is his first season, he looks like a regular starter for the NT."
