Singapore seemed to lack team coordination and power play throughout the game which resulted to continuous missed shots.

Kok Chiang Delvin Goh led the Singaporean team with 14 points and 12 assists on hand. They managed to score most points in the succeeding quarters of the ball game, they even resorted to shooting three points but it didn't manage to erase the point deficit from the earlier quarters of the game. Resulting to a 45-41 ending of fourth quarter.

Malaysia's next game will be against Vietnam tomorrow May 16th.
