Game on Saturday (The Arena, San Juan)
4 p.m. — RP Patriots vs Satria Muda BritAma

The Philippine Patriots, getting better and stronger each game, gun for a fourth straight win and a piece of the lead when they collide with the Satria Muda BritAma of Indonesia this Saturday in the ASEAN Basketball League at The Arena in San Juan.

This marks the first time the two countries meet on local soil, making the Patriots the heavy favorites when they clash at 4 p.m. in this budding home-and-away tournament. Admission is free.

A victory by the RP Patriots will enable them to tie the Singapore Slingers on a 5-1 win-loss record.

Definitey, crowd support will play a big role in their expected heated showdown with the Indons, but coach Louie Alas insists their defense will be the one that will make or break their bid.

"Crowd support will be a big factor especially now that we'll be playing in our own turf, but again, our success will depend on how we play defensively," said Alas. “We have to play smart and aggressive to be able to win.”
