HK Hong Kong cruise past Singapore in Asian Cup rout
Hong Kong eased to a 100-59 victory over Singapore in the FIBA Asia Cup on Sunday, 31 August 2026. The hosts were never in doubt as they ground out the win against a side that had not won since their last outing.
There were no goals or dismissals to report — this was a contest decided on the scoreboard long before the final whistle. Hong Kong managed 33 successful field goals from 76 attempts, while Singapore could only find the net 24 times from 60 shots. The gap in shooting accuracy told the story of the evening.
On the boards the difference was even wider. Hong Kong pulled down 47 rebounds, including 19 on the offensive end, while Singapore were reduced to 22 total boards with just four offensive rebounds. The hosts also led in assists with 27 to 19, showing far better ball movement throughout.
Defensively Hong Kong recorded 4 blocks and 11 steals compared to Singapore's 8 blocks and 8 steals. The visitors committed 16 turnovers to the hosts' 13, and on personal fouls the tally stood at 18 for Singapore against 15 for the hosts.
Three-point shooting further separated the two sides. Hong Kong hit 12 of 30 attempts from beyond the arc, while Singapore managed just 4 from 13. Free throws followed the same pattern: 22 of 24 for the hosts versus 7 of 13 for the visitors.
The result leaves Hong Kong looking strong ahead of the next round, while Singapore's form remains concerning. They have lost their last three Asian Cup matches by an average margin of 33 points and will need to regroup quickly.
