The Singapore Slingers bounced back from a stinging defeat to the Philippine Patriots by downing Indonesia’s Satria Muda BritAma, 61-59, in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) Saturday in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Hong Wei Jian and Kyle Jeffers starred for the Slingers by coming through with clutch baskets down the stretch to prevail.

The Patriots, who are toting a 3-1 record, are still playing against the Kuala Lumpur Dragons in Malaysia at presstime.

Meantime, the Brunei Barracudas notched their second win in six starts by taming the Thailand Tigers, 88-71.
