Defensively, they matched Kesatria on the boards (47-47) and limited second chance opportunities through 32 defensive rebounds. They also recorded 9 blocks and 6 steals, causing key momentum swings.

Game 3 now becomes a battle of composure and energy. If Bumi Borneo maintain the same offensive rhythm while tightening their perimeter defense, they’ll have a strong chance to complete the comeback and book a semifinal place against a dangerous Kesatria side.

Kesatria Bengawan Solo Preview

Kesatria Bengawan Solo enter Quarterfinal Game 3 against Bumi Borneo under pressure after letting Game 2 slip away in a 111-103 overtime defeat.

Despite the loss, Kesatria showed offensive firepower throughout regulation, consistently attacking in transition and stretching the floor with aggressive perimeter shooting.

Rayvonte Rice delivered a standout 44 point game, while Kentrell Barkley added 30 points, 10 rebounds and CJ Gettys added 13 points and 18 rebounds, but their efforts just fell short.

Offensively, Kesatria shot 46% from the field, 57% from the two point range and 32% from the perimeter. Their ball movement was also inefficient (19) compared to  Borneo’s (32). Defensively, they matched Borneo on the boards (47-47), but allowed the hosts to convert 51% from the field.

For Kesatria, Game 3 will depend on limiting turnovers, controlling the tempo, and finding more defensive balance inside the paint. If they can slow Bumi’s transition attack and execute better in clutch moments, Kesatria have the talent to respond and advance to the semifinals.

Overall, the team averages 84 points per game, while dishing out 19.2 assists. Defensively, they record 43.7 rebounds, 7 steals and 3.1 blocks, but allow opponents to score 86 points per game.
