Bangkok, Thailand, Sunday, December 20, 2009 – Satria Muda BritAma best the Thailand Tigers 69-58 to win all the three games between them this season in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL).
Satria Muda led from start to finish and built on a 12-6 first quarter lead to finish the first half 12 points (34-20) ahead.
The Tigers did enough to reduce the Satria Muda lead to just four points at 5:09 in theh third when Ratdech Kruatiwa (#12) dropped a 3-point basket but the Jakarta-based club pulled ahead to finish the third quarter with an eight-point, 52-44 lead.
