Bogor Hornbills player Travin Thibodeaux said his team is wary of all Pelita Jaya Jakarta players without exception, in the first match of the 2026 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) final which uses a best-of-five format, at GMSB.
He said the team's focus was not only on Pelita Jaya's star players, but also on the entire opposing squad, which was considered to be of equal quality.
"We will look at the statistical reports, study their strengths and weaknesses as we do in every match, because our opponents have good players, but we are also a good team and we have to prove it on the field," said Thibodeaux after training at GMSB.
He explained that the Hornbills came into the final with high confidence after an impressive season that saw them reach the final for the first time.
The 2026 IBL League MVP winner explained that from the start of the competition, he was more focused on helping the team win than chasing individual awards.
