With Jaume Fullana committing a crucial turnover and a clutch play by Johnas Dispo in the last 10 seconds of the game, the Beermen escaped a 107-102 victory over the Blaze Deathstalker.
"I thought it will be an easy win for us tonight. It must be that our players attitude in this game is slowed down by our recent loss against the Blue Jeanz. I apologize to our management and the fans for underestimating our tonight's opponent." told coach Huck Finn. During the first half of the game, coach Huck Finn was very calm, his mood changed drastically at the start of the second half. "I need to scold my players sometimes. I saw them slacking in the first two quarters so i have to do that kind of thing. Fortunately, it worked."
The victory cost the Beermen to lose a player due to an injury. Chow Qingwei, a reliable back-up center who started as a Power Forward tonight was fouled really hard as he goes up strong for an inside shot in the closing minutes of the game. The team's doctor, Josef Demjan, who is known for taping injuries assessed Qingwei's situation, "He was hacked mid-air and landed very badly, he obtained a broken shoulder in that play and will be out for three weeks minimum."
In the absence of Qingwei, the Beermen will rely to its Big-3. Johnas Dispo, Herman Botnen and Ben Brochian.
