Tyree Robinson scored two points to bring Satya Wacana closer to 61-64. It became increasingly difficult for Borneo to maintain the lead as possession of the ball fell to Satya Wacana in the last 30 seconds remaining because Borneo’s Najeal Young made a mistake which resulted in turnover.
Overcoming the miss, Michael Henn hit a 3-pointer to tie the score, 64-64. Borneo risks having to go to extra time or over time for the third time this season.
However, Yehezkiel Rahadiyanto scored a point when buzzer sounded which forced Borneo to suffer their sixth defeat. Ezekiel scored just five points in this game, including a buzzer beater that took advantage of a rebound from the chaos beneath the Borneo Hornbills ring.
