## A Tale of Two Halves in Shah Alam The atmosphere at Cross Court in Shah Alam was electric this Saturday, May 9, as the Main Je Hoopers faced off against Roodvos Ace in a pivotal CBLx 2026 matchup. The visitors looked poised to run away with the game early on, utilizing a balanced offensive attack to outpace the Hoopers 34-26 by the end of the first half. Roodvos Ace’s Wong Li Yang was instrumental in establishing this early momentum, punishing the rim and controlling the tempo to put the home side on their heels. ## The Turning Point Whatever was said in the Main Je Hoopers locker room during the break proved transformative. Emerging with renewed defensive intensity, the Hoopers executed a stunning 22-4 run in the third quarter that flipped the script entirely.

Despite the efforts of Lee Jun Xiang and Lee Wei Xiang, who both tallied 11 points for the visitors, the Hoopers' composure under pressure made the difference. Ian Petros Anandan provided critical stability for Main Je Hoopers, contributing 10 points and 5 rebounds to help seal the 59-56 victory. This win serves as a testament to the Hoopers' resilience and marks a significant highlight in their current CBLx 2026 campaign.
