On Sunday, the Slingers beat Philippine Basketball Association's (PBA) side Rain or Shine 97-72 in a pre-season friendly at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, with forward Steven Khoo top scoring for the hosts with 23 points.
The team have two more pre-season friendlies, against PBA teams Meralco (Sep 13) and Air 21 Express (Sep 19), both at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
