Singapore suffers first defeat in 2nd round of group games
It appeared to be going well in the first half with Singapore leading 57-48, but it took a turn for the worse in 2nd half to end with a 108-117 surprise defeat.
India out rebounded Singapore 44-34 and had a better FG% of 58.1% (50 out of 86) vs Singapore's 51.1% (44 out of 86). S. Khanolkar, D. Sokhi and D. Nagendra Gandhi all scored 20 over points for India.
P. Jian Long who was watching from the stands was seen shouting words of encouragement to cheer the team on, but to his dismay, Singapore lost. S. Yeng Jian led the team with 23 points. F. Shuangxiang who likely to have played his last game for NT got 10 points and 7 rebounds.
"With this defeat, our dream of finishing in third place is over", a disappointed Eric told the reporter.
