India edge out Hong Kong at FIBA Asia Championship

Battling a slow start, the Indian senior men's basketball came from behind to hold off a pesky Hong Kong 76-71 in the 28th FIBA Asia Championship here today.
With this win, and following Palestine's loss to Japan, the South Asian giants are just a step away from progressing to the quarterfinals of the tournament, which is happening after a gap of 12 years.
Yet again, power forward Amjyot Singh was India's most efficient performer with 26 points and 12 rebounds, while veteran Yadwinder Singh had a stellar shooting performance off the bench.
Speaking about the game Yadwinder said, "Although we were trailing at the beginning, we were fully confident that we would win."

On his own offensive performance he said, "My focus has always been on defense but I found that our scoring was stuck, so I stepped up my aggression and it paid off."
In their final second round match tomorrow, India take on Asian powerhouse Philippines.
Result:
India (Amjyot Singh 26 pts, 12 rbs, 4 assts, & 3 blks, Yadwinder Singh 18 pts, 6 rbs, Vishesh Bhriguvanshi 16 pts, 3 rbs, 4 stls, & 6 asts, Amritpal Singh 8 pts & 15 rbs) beat Hong Kong (C Wong, 21 pts & 10 rbs, S. Chan 17 pts & 4 rbs) 76-71 (14-19, 20-20, 19-17, 23-15).
