Alab Pilipinas’ misery continued after absorbing a 61-83 humiliation at the hands of leading squad Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions on Sunday in the Asean Basketball League at the Sta. It was the third straight loss by Alab and two in a row from Long Lions as the lone Philippine squad in the tournament dropped to 9-9 win-loss record with two elimination-round games left. It was the Long Lions’ 10th straight win to secure the top spot in the next round. Filipino-American forward Lawrence Domingo led Alab Pilipinas with 15 points and 11 rebounds while import James Hughes also dished out a double-double effort with 12 markers and 13 boards. Alab Pilipinas and Hong Kong will face off for one last time on March 19 at the Almendras Gym in Davao City.
