No 23 Mike Helms charging towards the basketball. Made the basket and drew a foul. 3 point play for Helms.
The South Dragons, on the other hand, had a 48% success rate with their field goal attempts, making the basket 42 times out of the 87 attempts.
No 33 Ben Knight attempts a 3point but misses.
Clearing, for the Slingers to win the match against the Townsville Crocodile, they would need to improve their shooting percentages.
Slinger’s Singapore player No 12 Koh Meng Koon was given the last 2 minutes for some court experience. Unfortunately with the clock running down and the Slingers team already resigned to a defeat, Koh had very much to do except for some ball control and a pass.

What about the entertainment? The Slinger Girls pretty as they look also seemed to run out of routine as early as in the 10 mins of the half time break.
Strike a pose, girls!An overseas friend commented the routines looked rather predictable over some time.

Shake your poms poms.. Shake your poms poms.
