SINGAPORE - Tears flowed at the OCBC Arena on Sunday as Singapore Slingers centre Anthony McClain, a towering presence at 2.14-metre, was helped out of the facility by teammates Xavier Alexander and Marcus Elliott after the final buzzer.

While McClain bravely battled for 37 minutes to contribute 10 points and 12 rebounds, he was clearly off the pace and was unable to make a basket in the second half under some solid visiting defence. That was what the Slingers failed to do after their encouraging start, which saw local forward Kelvin Lim putting in six points in the first quarter.

He said:"Kelvin came out with a spurt at the start, but overall I'm not happy with our local players. We give the players the green light to shoot, so it all boils down to our decision-making on the court."
