Patriots Get Burnt By The Dragons


On Saturday, 9 January 2011, the Westsports KL Dragons regained their poise, after defensively stumbling last Wednesday against the Singapore Slingers to beat the AirAsia Phillipine Patriots on the road 92 - 74. After a closely contested first half, the Dragons took control of the game in the 3rd period. At which point they never looked back until the final buzzer. What a difference a few days makes compared to the Dragons' last game against the Slingers, who they lost against, after crumbling on defense in the 4th period. But the Dragons redeemed themselves by snatching 2nd place in the league from the Patriots by virtue of their win over the Patriots tonight.

Next, the Dragons will face the Brunei Barracudas on Saturday at the Brunei Indoor Stadium. Another win on the road would provide the team with momentum and confidence heading into post-season play; not to mention home court advantage in the early stages.
