Siliwangi upsets
\nHadtex 64-59<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): American Dan Gray romped with 24 points and
\nRonald Median added 23 to end Siliwangi's losing streak with a
\ncome-from-behind 64-59 victory over fellow West Javanese Hadtex
\nin the final day of the first leg of semi-professional basketball
\nleague yesterday.<\/p>\n
Hadtex cagers should have avoided walking away from the
\nleague's opening leg with four straight losses as they took a
\nnarrow 34-33 lead in the first half.<\/p>\n
The Siliwangi side apparently took advantage of the extended
\nbreak caused by an electricity problem at the 4,000-seat Senayan
\nbasketball hall, intensifying the pressures throughout the final
\nhalf.<\/p>\n
Hadtex managed to level the tie twice at 49-49 and 59-59,
\nthanks to Chinese Chai Chang Yi's brilliant shots. Its spirited
\nstruggle, however, became a cropper due to numerous careless
\nshooting attempts.<\/p>\n
With only a minute left, Ronald poured in two free throws to
\nput Siliwangi two points ahead at 61-59. Hadtex squandered two
\ncounter attacks, leaving Ronald to nail his three-pointer in the
\nfinal second. (amd)<\/p>",
