Hangtuah Assistant Coach Antonius Ferry Rinaldo stated that his team failed to maintain their lead and lost 73-77 against Bogor Hornbills in the 2026 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) match, at the Laga Tangkas Sports Hall, Bogor Regency.
According to him, his team actually had a great opportunity to secure victory after leading the points in the first two quarters of the match.
"We actually had the momentum to win, as evidenced by our nine-point lead in the first two quarters," said the coach, often called Coach Inal, after the match.
He explained that his team was unable to maintain this momentum, especially when entering the third quarter.
During that period, the hosts were able to score consecutive points until they caught up and turned the score around.
