Teams Preview

Pelita Jaya BC

Pelita Jaya head into Quarterfinal Game 2 against RANS PIK with full momentum after escaping with a hard fought 84-82 win in Game 1. Perrin Buford delivered in clutch moments, while Jeff Withey controlled the paint late as Pelita closed the series opener with composure under pressure.

Offensively, Pelita Jaya shot 45% from the field, 38% from the perimeter and 70% from the free throw line, supported by their efficient ball movement (23 assists).  Defensively, got outrebounded 42-31 on the boards, but made multiple defensive stops through 10 steals and 6 blocks. They also forced the hosts to commit 16 turnovers and 18 fouls.

Game 1 showed Pelita Jaya cannot afford lapses defensively. RANS repeatedly attacked in transition and kept the game alive through KJ Buffen and Aaron Craig Fuller. Still, Pelita’s playoff experience, depth, and late-game execution proved decisive.

Pelita Jaya now enter Game 2 with a chance to close the series. Their ability to slow tempo, protect the rim, and rely on multiple scorers remains a major edge. If Buford and Moten control the perimeter early, Pelita Jaya will be favorites to finish the job and advance to the semifinals.

Overall, the team averages 83 points per game, while dishing out 21.7 assists. Defensively, they record 46.5 rebounds, 7.6 steals, 4.2 blocks per game and allow opponents to just 67.3 points per game.

Rans Simba Bogor

RANS PIK head into Quarterfinal Game 2 against Pelita Jaya with pressure mounting after a narrow 84-82 loss in Game 1. Despite the defeat, RANS showed resilience and proved they can challenge the top seed when their transition offense clicks.

KJ Buffen and Aaron Fuller carried much of the scoring load, while RANS consistently attacked Pelita’s perimeter defense to stay within reach late in the game.

Offensively, RANS PIK shot efficiently, hitting 52% from the field, including 58% from the two point range and 42% from the perimeter. Defensively, they dominated the boards (42-31), limiting second chance opportunities through 30 defensive rebounds. However, their 16 turnovers and 18 fouls proved costly down the stretch.

RANS already pushed Pelita to a one point game earlier this season, so confidence should still be there entering Game 2. The key will be limiting turnovers and matching Pelita’s physicality inside. If Buffen, Fuller, and Pekovic can control tempo and improve perimeter efficiency, RANS have a realistic chance to force a decisive Game 3 and keep their playoff run alive.

Overall, the team averages 82.2 points per game, while dishing out 20.8 assists. Defensively, they record 47.3 rebounds, 7.1 steals, 2.9 blocks and allow opponents to score 81.2 points per game.
