SBA claimed a narrow 80-78 victory over Chong Gi in the NBL on 5 September 2026. The result keeps the hosts seventh in the table with three wins from nine games. Chong Gi remain sixth after four victories and five defeats.
Both sides entered the match on uneven recent form. SBA had lost their previous outing 64-91 to Адроит Спортс, while Chong Gi fell 58-93 to Сиглап two days earlier. The home side did beat Chong Gi 68-63 back in August, but that was a different season.
The scoreline tells a simple story: one point separates the teams after nine rounds. Neither side has drawn a game, so the table only shows wins and losses. The gap between sixth and seventh is negligible.
And here's the thing — when teams are this close, the difference comes down to moments. Eighty points against seventy-eight does not mean one side dominated. It means both sides traded baskets and the margin decided everything.
The result extends SBA's win column to three and leaves Chong Gi with four victories. Both sides are still searching for consistency after nine games. The table does not move much in games like this.
