Slowly but surely playing to its potential, Alab Pilipinas tries to extend its winning streak when it clashes with Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions for the first time in the Asean Basketball League at Southorn Stadium in Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

The Filipinos are gunning for their fourth straight victory in the 8 p.m. clash with the Long Lions that will also serve as a tiebreaker for second spot as both teams hold identical 5-2 records.

The Singapore Slingers are still on top with an 8-2 record, with both of its losses coming at the hands of Alab and Hong Kong.
