NAGPUR: Indian hoopsters had mixed luck in their 3x3 basketball tournament opener at the Asian Games on Monday. While the men's outfit started their campaign with a stunning four-point (20-16) win over higher ranked Malaysia, Indian women lost their opening tie to lower ranked Uzbekistan 14-19 at the Deqing Information Park courts.
In the men's section, fast rising forward Sahaij Sekhon did the bulk of the scoring as the 60th ranked India surprised world no. 41 Malaysia in the round robin pool C league game. While Sekhon scored a game-high 10 points, India's top prospect for the NBA Princepal Singh chipped in with six points as Pranav Prince and Lokendra Singh netted identical two points.
