The Hawks have struggled defensively against elite teams, allowing over 90 points per game in multiple meetings with Dewa United, including a 101-60 defeat earlier this month and an 86-69 loss in January.

TANGERANG HAWKS vs DEWA UNITED BANTEN
Winning PredictionDewa United should have the edge in Quarterfinal Game 1 based on recent form, depth, and head-to-head dominance. Their ability to force turnovers, control the paint, and score efficiently in transition has been too much for the Tangerang Hawks throughout the season.
Tangerang may keep things competitive early if they slow the pace and shoot well from outside, but over four quarters Dewa’s offensive firepower and playoff experience should create separation. We are backing Dewa United to win Game 1.
