Bima Perkasa Jogja recorded their first victory in the 2025 All Indonesian Tournament after defeating Pacific Caesar Surabaya with a score of 65-53 at the Manahan Sports Hall, Solo.
Playing dominantly from the first quarter, Bima Perkasa Jogja gave Pacific Caesar Surabaya no room to develop throughout the match. Oleh Halim's team played solidly across all areas and closed the match with a 12-point lead.
This victory is a crucial asset for Bima Perkasa in the Group A preliminary round of the 2025 All Indonesian Tournament, which is now increasingly competitive after five of the seven teams have achieved at least one victory.
Bima Perkasa consistently led the score from the first quarter. They were able to read Pacific's attacking patterns well, especially in anticipating their opponents' long-range shots. In the first half, Pacific only managed one of 12 three-point attempts.
According to match statistics on the IBL website, Pacific only made seven three-pointers out of 33 attempts throughout the match. This low accuracy was effectively exploited by Bima Perkasa, who maintained their lead despite coming under pressure late in the third quarter.
