After a 90-86 victory over Tangerang Hawks Basketball and three consecutive wins in the 2025 IBL All Indonesian, Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung leads the Group A standings.
Hawks became the victim of Satria Muda in the local player-only tournament in Solo.
Andrew William Lensun and friends trailed by 12 points in the first half.
The Hawks tried to strengthen their defense. The pride of Tangerang utilized their big man lineup to attack Youbel Sondakh's defense, resulting in them closing the gap several times, reaching a four-point lead.
However, Satria Muda was fortunate because the Hawks players were less consistent, still making mistakes that allowed Abraham Damar Grahita to remain in a leading position until the end of the match.
One thing that is not utilized optimally is wasting many free throw opportunities.
The Hawks only made 17 free throws out of 25 attempts, which should have helped Lensun et al defeat Satria Muda.
