Indon five rips Thais in ABL
Satria Muda BritAma of Indonesia got another big lift from American imports Alex Hartman and Nakiea Miller to complete their mastery of the Thailand Tigers, 69-58, in the ASEAN Basketball League Sunday in Jakarta.
Hartman, the league's third leading scorer with 18.7 points per game, fired 25 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the three-point zone while adding six rebounds and three assists to help the BritAma win for the second straight game and third overall against the Tigers in the triple-round elims.
While Hartman sizzled from afar, the 6-foot-9 Miller dominated the shaded lane to finish with 20 points and 22 rebounds.
BritAma improved to 6-5, good for third place behind the Philippine Patriots (8-2) and Singapore Slingers (6-4).
