The Singapore Slingers zoomed to their fourth win in as many games after crushing Indonesia’s Satria Muda BritAma, 96-72, in the ASEAN Basketball League Sunday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

American imports Michael LeBlanc and Kyle Jeffers registered 23 and 19 points, apiece, as they took a commanding 56-26 halftime lead.

The win gave the Slingers a much-needed boost heading into their highly-anticipated clash with the Philippine Patriots this Saturday at The Arena in San Juan.

Carrying a 2-1 record, the Patriots are hoping to shrug off the rust factor after their scheduled match with the Brunei Barracudas last Saturday was postponed because of Typhoon Santi.
