Bangkok, Saturday, October 2, 2010 — With the merry-go-round seen in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) off season, it was inevitable that an ex-player would come back to haunt a team.

Kuete scored 31 points, including nine crucial points in overtime.
The Slammers went on an early 16–6 run before they went scoreless for almost four minutes in the face of a solid Dragons defense. The Dragons then went on a 10-2 run to ensure that they finished the first quarter trailing only by two (16-18). (more…)
