Augustin Dominates as RockNRolla Cruises Past Richmond

## A Masterclass in Dominance In a display of sheer offensive firepower, RockNRolla asserted their authority on Thursday night, handing Richmond a decisive 59-39 defeat in their GOM Intra V6 matchup at Court A, Arena Sukan @ Uniten. From the opening tip-off, RockNRolla established a defensive identity that Richmond struggled to crack, holding their opponents to just 39 points throughout the contest. The victory underscores RockNRolla's status as a formidable force in the tournament, characterized by consistent pressure and disciplined execution. ## The Augustin Show The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the performance of Ed Augustin, who put on a scoring clinic. Augustin poured in a game-high 31 points, effectively dismantling the Richmond defense with his versatile scoring range. While Augustin provided the offensive spark, teammates Sheldon Wong and Mohamad Norsyazwan Bin Mohd Rafi provided crucial support on the boards, combining for 13 rebounds to ensure RockNRolla controlled the pace of the game. Their collective presence in the paint neutralized Richmond’s interior efforts, limiting second-chance opportunities for the visiting squad. ## Richmond Struggles to Keep Pace For Richmond, the game was a difficult uphill battle from the first quarter. Despite efforts from We Kai Xian, who led his team with 8 points, and Peter Richard, who added 7 points and 5 rebounds, the team could not find a consistent rhythm against RockNRolla’s suffocating defensive rotation. Richmond managed a brief surge in the final frame, matching their opponents nearly point-for-point, but the damage from a sluggish second and third quarter had already been done. This victory serves as a strong statement for RockNRolla as they look to build momentum deeper into the GOM Intra V6 tournament. For Richmond, the focus will now shift toward adjusting their offensive schemes and sharpening their execution to avoid similar scoring droughts in their upcoming fixtures.
