HA NOI (VNS) — The Saigon Heat fell out of contention for the play-offs following a 74-85 loss to Hitech Bangkok City of Thailand in the ASEAN Basketball League in Bangkok last Saturday.

The Heat start well, finishing the first quarter at 18-16 but failing to maintain their momentum in the succeeding quarters as Hitech, the tournament leader, unleashed its offensive and defensive might in the second and fourth quarters.

In the next match, the Heat will play at home against the Singapore Slingers, who beat them 79-65, in Singapore on October 1. — VNS
