Standout Players

For the Naic Aces, the backcourt duo was unstoppable. The starting point guard orchestrated the offense with 28 points and 11 assists, while the shooting guard added 26 points on 9-of-14 shooting, including five three-pointers. The Aces’ center also contributed a double-double with 18 points and 14 rebounds, controlling the glass.

On the Thailand Titans side, their leading scorer poured in 31 points on efficient shooting, but lacked consistent support from the rest of the roster. The Titans’ power forward chipped in with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but the team’s defense—particularly in transition—was exploited throughout the night.

Tactical Story

Naic’s game plan was simple: push the ball in transition and exploit mismatches. They converted 22 fast-break points and shot 52% from the field. Defensively, they switched heavily on screens, forcing the Titans into isolation plays that often resulted in contested jumpers. Thailand, by contrast, relied too heavily on half-court sets and struggled to get stops when they needed them most.

Impact on The Asian Tournament Standings

The victory improves Naic Aces’ record in The Asian Tournament, giving them a strong position as the competition progresses. The Thailand Titans, meanwhile, drop to a .500 record and will need to tighten their defense if they hope to make a playoff push. With several games remaining, both teams have time to adjust, but this result sends a clear message that the Aces are a force to be reckoned with.
