Puchong Snipers Clinch Dominant 58-48 Victory Over Richmond

## Snipers Control the Tempo at Arena Sukan The Puchong Snipers marched into Court A at Arena Sukan @ Uniten on Thursday night and executed a clinical performance to dismantle Richmond, ending the contest with a decisive 58-48 victory. In a tournament atmosphere defined by the GOM Intra V6, the Snipers showcased superior depth and control, maintaining a steady lead from the opening tip to the final buzzer. ## A Battle of Consistency While the first quarter began as a tight affair with a narrow 16-15 lead for the visitors, the Snipers slowly began to flex their muscles. A dominant second quarter saw Puchong outscore Richmond 13-8, creating the breathing room necessary to dictate the pace of the game. Richmond’s Kweng’s J fought valiantly, tallying 12 points and 8 rebounds, but the home team struggled to find consistent rhythm against a disciplined Snipers defense. Despite Richmond’s effort to keep pace in the fourth quarter, the score remained deadlocked at 14-14, ensuring the deficit from the earlier frames remained insurmountable. ## Standout Performances The night belonged to Tanel Groskopf, who put on a masterclass for the Puchong Snipers. Registering an impressive double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds, Groskopf was a force in the paint that Richmond simply could not neutralize. He received significant support from teammate Yong Hong Yee, who chipped in 14 points, while Muhammad Isa Mohamed Yusof contributed a well-rounded 9-point, 3-rebound effort. For Richmond, the offensive load was distributed among Kweng’s J, Ang Wei Chao, and We Kai Xian, who combined for 30 points, yet the team ultimately lacked the finishing power required to overcome the Snipers' defensive front. This victory marks a significant statement for the Snipers as they continue their progression through the GOM Intra V6 tournament.
